Community Tools and Products for Cryosphere Discovery and Application

Session ID#: 161179

Session Description:
The cryosphere research community strives to characterize, understand, and predict complex environments that are undergoing rapid change. These rapid changes have societal impacts - from glacial hazards to permafrost thaw to sea ice navigability to water security. Due to their societal importance, analysis of these rapid changes must keep up with scientist and decision maker needs. To enhance collaboration, analysis efficiency, and increase discovery by different stakeholders, many in the cryosphere science community use, have built or are building valuable community tools and datasets. These resources help support accessible science and technology across applications and international boundaries. These exciting advances are being made to better connect our community with a vast body of open source software expertise, while open licensing enables serendipitous knowledge exchange within the research sector and more broadly. Open source tools and datasets are most useful when the community knows how to find and apply them, highlighting the need for functional metadata, open documentation and community discussion for these resources. This session highlights open source and open access research tools, collaborative data products aligning with FAIR data principles, and examples and demonstration of their successful application.
