HeFDI Data Talk: NFDI4Earth - 03.11.2023

The presentation slides of this talk are published on Zenodo under: https://zenodo.org/records/10074524

The NFDI4Earth started almost 2 years ago, is one of the largest NFDI consortia, and comprises all domains of the Earth System Sciences (ESS), e.g., the deep Earth, marine sciences, climatology, geography, geoinformatics, or planetology in general.

A core product, through which the NFDI4Earth serves the community, is the OneStop4All, a web page that addresses the needs of the researchers on all levels. This webpage is currently in the last stages of internal reviews and will go live in the first half of 2024.
The second core product are ways for all researchers to participate in the NFDI4Earth: Interest Groups form by initiative of ESS researchers e.g., for high performance computing or research software, the Academy for early career scientists that organises e.g., networking meetings or hackathons, funding for topical research data management (RDM) projects as a pilot, incubator, or an educational theme, and online ESS training material through its EduTrain. The connection of the NFDI to state initiatives such as HeFDI is vital for the increasingly important field of RDM.

Dr. Dominik Hezel, Goethe University Frankfurt (Institute for Geosciences) & PhD student Tamanna, Goethe University Frankfurt will present how the NFDI4Earth works, provide an example from a pilot, and report on the progress of a joint project with HeFDI that uses Jupyter Notebooks. The latter are becoming a quasi standard for code exchange. Ways to use Jupyter Notebooks even more quickly and conveniently via JupyterHubs are currently investigated.

The HeFDI Data Talks (https://t1p.de/hefdi-data-talks-2024) are a bi-weekly open information and discussion event on the topic of data management in the context of science, at which relevant NFDI consortia and research data management services present themselves. Current topics are discussed in the series and numerous tools and services, including local and regional ones, are presented. The HeFDI Data Talks are an offer of the state initiative HeFDI, which is funded by the Hessian Ministry of Science and Research, Art and Culture (HMWK).

If you have any suggestions or feedback on the topics, please contact the HeFDI office ([email protected]). If you would like to be regularly informed about our offers and events, you are welcome to subscribe to our newsletter (https://t1p.de/bgkfl)!
