Enabling Large Data Analysis on the Earthscope Data Repositories

Description: 

In 2024, all geophysical data managed by the EarthScope consortium for NSF’s GAGE and SAGE facilities will be stored in a commercial cloud system. This move will enable EarthScope and the research communities it supports to leverage the enormous capabilities of cloud computing. To fully utilize the abundant compute, cost-effectiveness, and direct access to huge data sets in the cloud, data processing systems need to be adapted for this new paradigm. EarthScope has initiated a project to create resources that will help researchers transition their data analyses to this environment. These resources are intended to help researchers working at different scales, with a particular highlight on the capability to access very large datasets that this paradigm change will allow. In addition to documentation, EarthScope will provide a notebook hub to support easy and democratized access to compute adjacent to the data. Workshops will be developed and conducted both in person and online to train researchers how to use these new resources and generally transition their work to the cloud. With the ability to apply cloud computing to deep geophysical data sets the future is bright, and we are excited to enable this for multiple geoscience domains.
