Abstract
We are leading the NASA-Openscapes Framework to support scientific researchers using NASA data as they migrate their workflows to the cloud. We will share about Openscapes and our work with NASA Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs) to 1) Develop a cross-DAAC Mentor community that supports growth into confident cloud data instructors, and create, curate and use shared resources and have a tutorial review process; 2) Empower science teams to experiment migrating their download-intensive data analysis workflows to the cloud through a partnership with Carpentries and 2i2c; and 3) Scale the Openscapes Champions program with DAAC Mentors to support science cohorts and amplify as many open science leaders as possible, transforming their workflows towards open, kinder science and the cloud.
