Collaborative Science Through Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)
AGU
Convener: Peter Löwe | Co-conveners: Anusuriya Devaraju, Kaylin Bugbee, Jens Klump
Earth science research has become increasingly collaborative through shared code and shared platforms. Researchers work together on data, software and algorithms to answer cutting-edge research questions. Teams also share these data and software with other collaborators to refine and improve these products. This work is supported by Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and by shared virtual research infrastructures utilising cloud and high-performance computing.
Software is critical to the success of science. Creating and using FOSS enhances collaboration and innovation in the scientific community, creates a peer-reviewed and consensus-oriented environment, and promotes the sustainability of science infrastructures.
This session will showcase practical solutions and applications based on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), cloud-based architecture and high-performance computing to support information sharing, scientific collaboration, and solutions that enable large-scale data analytics at scale solutions.
