A National Science Foundation Funded Project
National Discovery Cloud for Climate Workshop
March 6 - 8, 2024
hosted by the
San Diego Supercomputer Center, UC San Diego
The National Science Foundation (NSF) initiated the development of a National Discovery Cloud for Climate (NDC-C) to “federate advanced compute, data, software, and networking resources, democratizing access to a cyberinfrastructure ecosystem that is increasingly necessary to further climate-related science and engineering”. The NDC-C builds on many existing efforts supported by the CISE and GEO directorates across the entire science vertical from hardware to foundational infrastructure to software services to core climate research to community activities.
The workshop will lay the groundwork to establish the NDC-C community and outline the path forward toward an NDC that spans all fields of science and engineering. We will explore cross-cutting collaborations, and define the objectives and a possible path forward for collective impact. The participants will be led through discussions to develop requirements that are central to the creation, operation, and sustainability of an NDC-C.
