Digital Earths – Global Hackathon

May 12-16 2025 [UTC] – Canberra, São Paulo, Buenoes Aires, Beijing, Hamburg, Tokyo, Oxford, Boulder, Princeton, Berkley

The Digital Earths Global Hackathon will bring together scientists from around the world to jointly analyze the first ever coordinated experiments of climate models simulating a full annual cycle with horizontal grid spacings of 5 km or less).

Participants will gather at one of a number of regional nodes for the hacking, each of which will provide access to a combined data-compute resource hosting the data and proximate computing capbility for its analysis. Each node will host at least one full annual cycle of output data standardized on a common (HEALPix) grid. Standardization will help participants share their analysis workflows with other teams analyzing other models at other nodes, and thereby build global communities around common interests.
