AOS Applications Seminar: The VEDA Platform: Lowering the Barrier to Entry for Earth Science Applications

NASA's Visualization, Exploration, and Data Analysis (VEDA) project is an open-source science cyberinfrastructure for data processing, visualization, exploration, and geographic information systems (GIS) capabilities. Developed collaboratively and mostly reusing existing open-source components, VEDA consolidates GIS delivery mechanisms, processing platforms, analysis services, and visualization tools and provides an ecosystem of open tools for addressing Earth science research and application needs through the public-facing VEDA Dashboard. In this presentation, Dr. Freitag will provide an overview of VEDA and how it can potentially serve the AOS community.

About the Speaker Dr. Brian Freitag is a Research Scientist at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). Brian joined the Earth Science Branch at NASA MSFC in September 2020 and led the production of NASA's Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 dataset distributed by the Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LPDAAC). Currently Brian is leading the Multi-Mission Algorithm and Analysis Platform (MAAP) and Visualization, Exploration, and Data Analysis (VEDA) projects. Under these projects Brian works to lower the barrier to entry to NASA Earth science data, facilitate interagency collaborations, and support the transition of science workflows to leverage the benefits of cloud-based data sources.
