EOSCPillar4EarthScience VRE - Quick Start

Earth Environment sciences & Geosciences require a large panel and volume of data from satellite, in-situ observations and climate models, that are managed and preserved separately in domain-dependent repositories of national or European infrastructures. As the data sources are widely distributed, it induces real difficulties to achieve inter-processing and integrated uses of the data for comprehensive studies at domain or cross-domain level. In the context of the EOSC-Pillar project, the Work Package 6 (EOSC in action: Use cases and community-driven pilots) delivers use cases to analyze different tools and services for the "FAIRisation" of data and services. Among them, the use case “Agile FAIR Data for Environment and Earth System Communities” aims at offering services to facilitate and speed up the access to the distributed data sources and provide a web-based processing environment for Data Science notebooks supporting the Pangeo community platform (https://pangeo.io/). This use case also aims to enhance data discovery and data access, relying on existing services provided by the Earth Sciences communities such as the Research Infrastructure Data Terra (https://www.data-terra.org/en/accueil/) in France, and the consortium of Environment Research Infrastructures (ENVRI) (https://envri.eu/) and the ENES climate community (https://is.enes.org) in Europe
