REGISTRY -- teasering O2A's metadata backbone

 O2A's metadata management tool has been completely restructured, revised and expanded. With a new design and many new functions, it has also been rebranded. sensor.awi.de becomes REGISTRY. With this click-thru we want to show the basic operating concepts of the UI and the most important changes and features.

1. Research SW Policy at AWI - overview 
2. Research Software Publication - Licenses and Citation

Abstract: The new guidelines for research software at the AWI will be presented in the seminar. It is intended to increase awareness of research software as a tool, but also as an output of scientific work. Best practices should be established to ensure the quality of research software. This also includes the publication and citation of software. The survey conducted at AWI on research software made it clear that there is often a lack of clarity regarding licenses. Therefore, in the second part of the seminar, Tobias Schlauch from DLR will give an introduction to software publishing and licenses.

In this seminar we will introduce the AWI's Albedo HPC System. The computer's hardware will be introduced along with a beginner introduction to using the machine, including recommended storage locations, available software, and usage of the batch system for scheduling your computations

Unlocking the potential of ML for Earth and Environment researchers

Abstract:

As Helmholtz AI Consultants, we support Helmholtz-based researchers on making the best use of ML methods for research questions related to Earth and Environmental sciences. This talk will introduce you to the way we work and what we have on offer for you. We will give insights into typical problem statements from Earth observation and Earth System modelling that are good candidates for experimentation with ML methods and report on our accumulated experience tackling such challenges with individual support projects. Given sufficient amounts of data and initial scientific problem statements, we work towards assembling practically meaningful demonstrators within a couple of months, laying the groundwork for further research projects. Example projects include wind speed regression on GNSS-R data, emulation of atmospheric chemistry modeling, Earth System model parameterizations with ML, marine remote sensing and time series analysis. We are happy to share our experiences and discuss the development of ML methods, prototypes and projects based on your input and scientific needs.
