This document provides an overview of how to access spatial data collections through the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI). It describes NCI's data catalog that contains various climate, satellite, and other geoscience datasets. The document outlines how users can browse the catalog, search for specific collections like CMIP5, and view metadata. It also explains that datasets are stored on NCI's global filesystems and made available through data services like THREDDS, which provides OPeNDAP, WMS, WCS, and other access methods. Users can find datasets, view them visually through Godiva, or download files through these services.
Modern tools and techniques can help address challenges in water data management. Water data management platforms use data sharing platforms to integrate data from multiple agencies in a standardized format. These platforms incorporate a hydrological geofabric to establish a single point of truth for water mapping, and use cloud computing to provide scalable access and analysis of large water datasets. For example, a demonstration showed how sensor data, water storage data, and river flow models could be integrated in a sensor cloud to help manage water sharing in a catchment.

Atmos - Tom hartley - Modelling Bird Behaviour to Progress Wind Farm DevelopmentEsri UK
1. Atmos Consulting provides environmental and planning expertise for renewable energy projects, including modelling bird behaviour to assess impacts on sensitive species from wind farm development.
2. They developed a model to predict bird activity levels within wind farm airspace based on nest locations and ranging behaviour to substitute for observed activity levels from vantage point surveys for the Leadhills wind farm project.
3. This random collision risk modelling solution showed low risk of adverse impacts and allowed the project to gain approval, providing a method to address objections when survey data is limited.
We present a review of the activities carried out by various members of the “Extremes and Networks” working sub-group. In particular, we discuss our initial findings on different
connectivity metrics on networks and their applicability on data on extremes, and case studies on networks of precipitation extremes for southern USA and for India. A considerable part of this work is ongoing, and some challenges and features of this research will be discussed.
The document summarizes a project that published linked geospatial data from several pan-European datasets. The project transformed datasets into RDF, loaded them into Virtuoso, and linked the datasets. This resulted in a Virtuoso instance with over 700 million triples. The project also developed three interfaces for navigating and visualizing the data: a SPARQL endpoint, faceted search browser, and map visualization. The linked data can be reused for applications in areas like real estate, tourism, and agriculture.
NCRIS supports approximately 40,000 users each year through 27 facilities across 9 focus areas of research including advanced physics, complex biology, digital data and eResearch platforms.

Transforming Networking within ESIP using ResearchBitErin Robinson
Geoscientists increasingly need interdisciplinary teams to solve their research problems. Currently, geoscientists use Research Networking (RN) systems to connect with each other and find people of similar and dissimilar interests. As we shift to digitally mediated scholarship, we need innovative methods for scholarly communication. Formal methods for scholarly communication are undergoing vast transformation owing to the open-access movement and reproducible research. However, informal scholarly communication that takes place at professional society meetings and conferences, like AGU, has received limited research attention relying primarily on serendipitous interaction.
The ResearchBit project aims to fundamentally improve informal methods of scholarly communication by leveraging the serendipitous interactions of researchers and making them more aware of co-located potential collaborators with mutual interests. This presentation will describe our preliminary hardware testing done at the Federation for Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) Summer meeting this past July and the initial recommendation system design. The presentation will also cover the cultural shifts and hurdles to introducing new technology, the privacy concerns of tracking technology and how we are addressing those new issues.

The Earth System Grid Federation: Origins, Current State, EvolutionIan Foster
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a distributed network of climate data servers that archives and shares model output data used by scientists worldwide. ESGF has led data archiving for the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) since its inception. The ESGF Holdings have grown significantly from CMIP5 to CMIP6 and are expected to continue growing rapidly. A new ESGF2 project funded by the US Department of Energy aims to modernize ESGF to handle exabyte scale data volumes through a new architecture based on centralized Globus services, improved data discovery tools, and data proximate computing capabilities.
This document provides an update on the status of RFCs (requests for comments) for the HDF5 and HDF-EOS5 data formats. It summarizes the comments received from 17 reviewers on their implementation experience with these formats. While feedback on HDF5 was generally positive, comments on HDF-EOS5 were more mixed, with some calling for improvements before endorsement. The document outlines the RFC review process and notes that most reviewers were using the formats for Earth science data from their original developers.
The document summarizes discussions from Day 2 of the 2011 TERN Symposium. It describes presentations on TERN facility portals and 2010 Round 2 funding projects. It also summarizes discussions on TERN's role in environmental data collection, storage and distribution. The vision for TERN portals is to establish long-term ecosystem science as a priority, encourage long-term data management practices, and develop a network of long-term researchers. Strategies include promoting open access to data and developing robust cyberinfrastructure. The proposed portal architecture includes facility-specific and TERN-wide portals using common standards. Status updates indicate prototypes from four facilities with the TERN portal prototype available in late 2011.
This document discusses the emerging pattern in the air quality information ecosystem. It notes that individual data providers, scientists, and decision supporters are being replaced by groups that facilitate access, sharing, and integration. These include data portals, science teams, and decision support systems. The ecosystem involves multiple stages from observations to decisions, with value added at each stage through activities like data aggregation, scientific collaboration, and predictive analysis. This new structure is more efficient and supports the goals of initiatives like GEOSS.
Data grids are an emerging technology that enables the formation of sharable collections from data distributed across multiple storage resources. The integrated Rule Oriented Data System (iRODS) is a data grid developed by the DICE Center at UNC-CH. The iRODS data grid enforces management policies that control properties of the collection. Examples of policies include retention, disposition, distribution, replication, metadata extraction, time-dependent access controls, data processing, data redaction, and integrity checking. Policies can be defined that automate administrative functions (file migration and replication) and that validate assessment criteria (authenticity, integrity, chain of custody). iRODS is used to build data sharing environments, digital libraries, and preservation environments. The iRODS data grid is used at UNC-CH to support the Carolina Digital Repository, the LifeTime Library for the School of Information and Library Science, data grids for the Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI), collaborations within North Carolina, and both national and international data sharing. At RENCI, the TUCASI data grid supports shared collections between UNC-CH, Duke, and NCSU. The RENCI data grid is federated with ten other data grids including the National Climatic Data Center, the Texas Advanced Computing Center data grid, and the Ocean Observatories Initiative data grid. International applications include the CyberSKA Square Kilometer Array for radio astronomy and the French National Institute for Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics. The collections that are assembled may contain hundreds of millions of files, and petabytes of data. A specific goal is the integration of institutional repositories with the national data infrastructure that is being assembled under the NSF DataNet program. The software is available as an open source distribution from http://irods.diceresearch.org.
In recent years governments and research institutions have emphasized the need for open data as a fundamental component of open science. But we need much more than the data themselves for them to be reusable and useful. We need descriptive and machine-readable metadata, of course, but we also need the software and the algorithms necessary to fully understand the data. We need the standards and protocols that allow us to easily read and analyze the data with the tools of our choice. We need to be able to trust the source and derivation of the data. In short, we need an interoperable data infrastructure, but it must be a flexible infrastructure able to work across myriad cultures, scales, and technologies. This talk will present a concept of infrastructure as a body of human, organisational, and machine relationships built around data. It will illustrate how a new organization, the Research Data Alliance, is working to build those relationships to enable functional data sharing and reuse.
The document discusses how the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) leverages tools from Apache Solr and Apache Object Oriented Data Technology (OODT) to manage and distribute large amounts of climate science data. ESGF is an international collaboration that uses a distributed network of nodes running various software components to provide access to over 2.5 petabytes of climate model output and observational data. This infrastructure supports the research of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and projects like CMIP5, the largest coordinated climate modeling effort to date.

Putting Data to Work: Moving science forward together beyond where we thought...Erin Robinson
This document discusses how putting data to work through community. It outlines the traditional approach of individual science projects versus a community approach. The traditional approach involves scientists independently finding, accessing, analyzing and publishing data. The community approach advocates opening this process up through shared infrastructure and standards to allow more collaborative data reuse. It provides examples of communities like the air quality community that have worked to develop interoperable standards and services. Overall, it argues that a community approach where data and standards are shared can lead to more open science and greater data reuse.
Short introduction to the work that the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) and the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) have done together around SGCI Focus weeks.
Going farther together - Why Communities are essential for the future of scienceErin Robinson
Ignite@AGU Talk - Scientific problems are often no longer single person or single lab problems. In this talk, I will cover why community is critical, how to be a good citizen of communities you are a part of and further your own career at the same time and what we can hope for if communities are successful.
Esip 101 - An introduction to all things ESIPErin Robinson
This document provides an introduction to the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) Federation, a community of Earth science data and information technology practitioners. It outlines ESIP's vision and history, describes its partner types and governance structure, and highlights some of the work it does to support interoperability, best practices, professional development, and collaboration in Earth science. Key information includes that ESIP was formed in 1998 by NASA, is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and brings together over 150 partner organizations in a distributed network to advance Earth science.
Innovative Web Platforms for Outreach and EngagementErin Robinson
The document discusses the ESIP Federation's use of innovative web platforms to engage its community members. It explores using a community platform to facilitate networking at different levels. The ESIP Federation connects various "planks" like listservs, wikis, and social media through content curation, regular communication, and hybrid meetings on the ESIP Commons platform. This allows for remote participation in meetings, automatic collection of notes and files, and generation of proceedings. The goal is to create an ecosystem that scales and incorporates new features and community members.
ESIP Commons Ignite presentation as part of the Creative Commons 10-year anniversary celebration. Talked about how ESIP is utilizing cc to share work produced by the community.
The document discusses the ESIP Commons, which aims to provide a knowledge repository and citation mechanism for information generated by the Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP). The ESIP Commons allows members to publish, cite, and discover various non-traditional scholarly works, including white papers, meeting materials, and future content types. It tracks contributions by individuals and organizations to further knowledge sharing within the ESIP network.
Using Web Tools and Methods to Support Earth Science CollaborationsErin Robinson
Many Earth science projects have participants that span multiple timezones,
organizations and domains. Sometimes members of the group have never even met
face to face. The requirement to be co-located in order to collaborate is no longer the
norm since there are now so many alternative methods of virtual communication and
coordination using web tools and methods. There are many tools (Drupal, Mediawiki,
Google +, Twitter, Facebook) that support communication, coordination and
collaboration around a topic. The good thing about all of these tools is that they are
flexible and customizable, but this also poses a challenge of how to set-up the tools
to best support your group. Often these collaboration are supported by an ad-hoc
member of the group, who is working within the group, but also is supporting the
collaboration of the group. This person often will have created methods to supporting
the group such as sending out the email reminders, hosting the telecons and
updating the web pages. This at times can be a frustrating job because only a small
fraction of the group participates at any given time. This Birds of a Feather session is
intended to bring together these ad-hoc community manager practitioners to
compare what is working to support virtual collaboration and what are the
challenges. Hopefully, the outcome of this session will be a web-based forum to
improve the efficiency of these Earth science community managers.
ESIP Federation: Using social networks and social media to connect communitie...Erin Robinson
ESIP Federation is a consortium of over 120 organizations that collects, interprets, and develops applications for Earth observation information. ESIP uses social networks and social media to connect communities of practice related to Earth science data. This includes using tools like wikis, social media platforms, and teleconferencing to facilitate collaboration between geographically distributed groups. ESIP provides a neutral platform to leverage members' expertise for innovation and to make Earth data more accessible and usable to various stakeholders.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
