Unidata Science Gateway for Enabling Science as a Service to Facilitate Open Science and Reproducible Research

Abstract

Abstract Unidata, an NSF-funded geoscience cyberinfrastructure facility, has deployed data infrastructure and data-proximate scientific workflows and analysis tools, using cloud computing technologies, for analyzing and visualizing well-documented datasets that combine robust access to well-documented datasets. Docker containers and Jupyter notebooks, and other analytic methods are enabled via “Software as a Service” and “Data as a Service”. The collective impact of these services is to enable scientists to not only conduct their research but also share their work with other researchers.
