NOAA funded marine scientist uses OSPool access to high throughput computing to explode her boundaries of research

Dr. Carrie Wall, a research scientist at the University of Colorado Boulder, shares how access to OSPool resources has allowed her team to expand the scope of their research and to fail, unconstrained by the cost of computing in the cloud and the associated restraints that places on research.

Pathfinder Strategies

Hackathons

Annual, intense in-person meetings to tackle pressing technical topics across the collaboration. Builds on biweekly video conferences between scientists and experts.

Expanding Partnerships

As the collaboration becomes more established, integrating more partners like the NDP, DeltaAI, Stampede3, SAGE, and NSDF.

Joint Integrations

Co-developing software and integrations to ensure climate science tools can transparently access NDC-C cyberinfrastructure.

Broader Impacts

With the MS-CC, working to empower climate scientists at Jackson State University to have local access to NCAR data.
