Introduction

Welcome!

Next Cohort

Due to ongoing effects of Hurricane Helene, we have postponed the next cohort of the Earth Systems Data Science in the Cloud course until the 15th of October 2024. The curriculum, content, and resources for the previous cohort (ESDS 3; Winter 2024) is available here. The information, course content, and recordings for the current cohort (ESDS 4; Fall 2024) will be available on this site. Please reach out to the course organizers for more information.
