“Networking the Indian Geoscience Community through iGEON” Workshop to be held at Univ of Hyderabad

GEON team members will travel to India in January to host a CI Workshop and Short Course at the University of Hyderabad, jointly with that institution’s Center for Modeling, Simulation and Design (CMSD), and the University Centre for Earth and Space Sciences (UCESS).  This workshop will highlight features of GEON and discuss its architecture from a programmer/user perspective, followed by hands-on experience.  Topics to be covered include LiDAR and topographic data; geospatial/GIS data; web services (using the EarthScope portal as an example), and the GEON Open Earth Framework.  Participants will use the U of H GEON node to access data relating to Earth Sciences.

A Short Course in Geophysics will be held immediately following this workshop, from Jan 9-11, that will be conducted by G. Randy Keller, University of Oklahoma.  Other GEON team members Chaitan Baru, Christopher Crosby, and Viswanath Nandigam (all from the San Diego Supercomputer Center) will also be traveling to India to contribute to this workshop.
