Session Proposal: Advancing Reproducible and FAIR Science: Tools, Practices, and Incentives (AGU25)

IN008
Advancing Reproducible and FAIR Science: Tools, Practices, and Incentives

Session ID#: 250586

Session Description:
Reproducibility and openness are at the heart of scientific progress. As the community increasingly relies on complex datasets, sophisticated workflows, and software tools, aligning with Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) principles has become essential to ensure transparency, reusability, and effective collaboration. This session invites contributions that highlight efforts to enhance reproducibility and FAIRness in geoscience research, including: reproducibility studies; tools and platforms that support FAIR data, software, and workflows; and initiatives that incentivize and recognize open science practices. We particularly encourage submissions that explore cultural and technical challenges, propose novel solutions, and showcase how reproducibility and FAIR principles are shaping the future of geoscience.
