Pangeo is first and foremost a community of people working collaboratively to develop software and infrastructure to enable Big Data geoscience research.
Some of the products produced by this community include interconnected software package and deployments of this software in cloud and high-performance-computing environments. Such a deployment is sometimes referred to as a Pangeo Environment.
There are several building crises facing the geoscience community:
Pangeo aims to address these challenges through a unified, collaborative effort.
Our mission is to cultivate an ecosystem in which the next generation of open-source analysis tools for ocean, atmosphere and climate science can be developed, distributed, and sustained. These tools must be scalable in order to meet the current and future challenges of big data, and these solutions should leverage the existing expertise outside of the geoscience community.
To accomplish this mission, we have identified three specific goals.
The pangeo project is completely open to involvement from anyone with interest. There are many ways to get involved:
