Congratulations to Kitware and Berk Geveci for winning a nice $150k DOE grant to build a new user-friendly data analysis application for the complex worldwide climate science databases.
“ClimatePipes will provide access to data that can have a real impact on global climate changes. It will allow the public to better appreciate climate change and enable industries to use climate data in a variety of unforeseen applications,” said Berk Geveci, director of scienfitic computing at Kitware and principle investigator on this SBIR grant. “Our solution aims to be the platform for user-friendly data access, but not to replace high-end analysis tools for scientists. We are looking forward to a tool that is very simple, intuitive, and that can be used by non-researchers and non-programmers.”
I can’t say for certain, but I suspect this will rely heavily on their already built “ParaViewWeb” system for the visualization parts, but I look forward to seeing what they come up with for data provenance.
