Ghub Tool Development Workshop

Monday April 8th- Wednesday April 10th 2024

Workshop summary

The ice sheet community has made great strides in predicting future ice sheet change, however urgency in reducing uncertainties of near-term sea level rise relies heavily on collaboration and sharing research and research enabling tools/data effectively. Ghub enables collaboration between ice sheet scientific communities and serves as a central repository and directory for the growing number of open-source tools in the cryospheric sciences.

This workshop is aimed at researchers and students who currently have a workflow, script, or utility written in the Python or R programming language that they would like to share with the cryospheric communities.  

Examples:

    Code or workflows from a paper you would like to share in an interactive, executable way
    Share a utility for others to use so they don't need to download the source code
    Access high-performance computing to share models or other computationally expensive workflow

We will teach you:

    The ways you can share your science on Ghub
    How to develop user interfaces using Jupyter Notebooks
    How to access our HPC resources for complex computational tools
