SUMMARY:IceFlow and icepyx: Python tools for Harmonizing Laser Altimetry Datasets in an Open Science Framework, NASA Earthdata Webinar
LOCATION:Online
DESCRIPTION:NASA Earthdata Webinar: IceFlow and icepyx: Python tools for Harmonizing La
 ser Altimetry Datasets in an Open Science Framework\nWhen: Wednesday 28 Apr
 il 2021, 02:00 PM – 03:0 PM (Eastern Daylight Savings Time [UTC/GMT-4])\nOv
 erview: Since 2003, NASA’s ICESat, IceBridge, and ICESat-2 missions have co
 llected valuable information on the evolution of land and sea ice using las
 er altimetry technology. However, combining these disparate and large-volum
 e data products, available from the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center 
 Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC), presents a challenge in ter
 ms of varied data formats, coordinate reference systems, spatial coverage, 
 and discovery and access methods.\nThis webinar will introduce and demonstr
 ate two Python-based tools that offer solutions to these persistent challen
 ges. NSIDC DAAC’s IceFlow API and Jupyter Notebook harmonize these data pro
 ducts into similar formats and apply the necessary geophysical corrections 
 for users to immediately access, compare, and visualize decades of data in 
 a single workflow. The open-source icepyx project is both a software librar
 y and a community composed of ICESat-2 data users, developers, and the scie
 ntific community, who are working together to develop a shared library of r
 esources that simplify the process of querying, obtaining, analyzing, and m
 anipulating ICESat-2 datasets to enable scientific discovery. While this pr
 esentation will focus on cryospheric applications of these NASA missions, t
 he challenges they address are not unique to the broader Earth science comm
 unity. They also demonstrate what is possible within and across disciplines
  when tools are developed using an open science framework.\nPresenters: \nA
 my Steiker and Nicholas Kotlinski, NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center D
 istributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC)\nDr. Jessica Scheick, Univers
 ity of New Hampshire, Earth Systems Research Center\nFor event information
