Integration of Advanced Software Technologies

Our Mission

We support the integration of advanced software technologies with the NFDI4Earth community by investigating, assessing, and improving new technologies that enable complex analysis of large Earth System Science (ESS) data. Our focus is on "data cube technologies for gridded data" and we provide best practice guides, support pilot studies, and enhance existing open-source solutions to promote the adoption of FAIR principles and common standards in the community. Through close collaboration with pilot projects and community-driven open source projects, we aim to generate a best practices guide to implement common standards for data cube technologies and enhance existing open-source solutions to support NFDI users.

Our Materials

We are committed to providing resources to support the Earth System Science community in advancing their skills and knowledge in data management and analysis. Below, you will find a list of our materials designed to help you improve your skills and stay up-to-date with the developments in the field.
