We are a home for Earth science data and computing professionals. Our sessions bring together the community for hands-on, interdisciplinary deep dives as we explore "Bridging Divides: Data, Technology, Community" this year. Learn more about this theme on the ESIP Meetings page.
Session and plenary recordings will be published on the ESIP YouTube Channel.
The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at UT Austin supports large-scale compute and data storage across all areas of science, with the NSF-supported Leadership Class Computing Facility (LCCF) now coming online. NCAR approached TACC to implement a more effective disaster recovery approach than storing tapes in a fireproof vault, leading to a transfer of 15 PB of data over R&E networks beginning February 2026. This session details the preliminary design work, technological tradeoffs weighed, and how transfers of this scale can be accomplished and become commonplace. It will also discuss how TACC resources are available to the broader ESIP community.
Audience Council of Data Facilities representatives; researchers or project leads working with significant data resources; representatives from high performance networking providers, NSF-sponsored computing centers, and universities with large-scale computing centers and data repositories
