=============================================
“IceFlow and icepyx: Python tools for Harmonizing Laser Altimetry  
Datasets in an Open Science Framework” Earthdata webinar to be held on  
Wednesday, April 28, 2021 at 2:00 PM EDT (UTC/GMT-4).

Brief Description: Since 2003, NASA’s ICESat, IceBridge, and ICESat-2  
missions have collected valuable information on the evolution of land  
and sea ice using laser altimetry technology. However, combining these  
disparate and large-volume data products, available from the NASA  
National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center  
(NSIDC DAAC), presents a challenge in terms of varied data formats,  
coordinate reference systems, spatial coverage, and discovery and  
access methods. Join us to learn how to harmonize IceBridge, ICESat-1,  
and ICESat-2 data products into similar formats and apply the  
necessary geophysical corrections for users to immediately access,  
compare, and visualize data using Python and Jupyter Notebook based  
tools.

Speaker: Amy Steiker, DAAC Data Services Engineer, NASA National Snow  
and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC)

Amy specializes in the development and management of data education  
resources, tools, and services for NSIDC DAAC’s growing user  
community, as well as cloud-based data transformation service  
development for NASA Earth Obsering System Data and Information System  
(EOSDIS). With a background in stable isotope biogeochemistry and  
NSIDC user support, Amy continues to pursue efforts improving the  
accessibility and utility of NSIDC DAAC’s data from a data user’s  
perspective, growing her focus and expertise on cloud computing  
resources for cloud-based data access and analysis.

Speaker: Nicholas Kotlinski, Data Support Specialist, NASA NSIDC DAAC

Nic is the Data Support Specialist for NASA's Ice, Cloud and land  
Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) at the NSIDC DAAC. He has a  
background in using GIS and remote sensing for tropical forest  
conservation, and has worked on research teams studying a variety of  
issues, from biological and social inventories in South America to  
large-scale studies of freshwater systems in the U.S., Mongolia and  
Guyana. With a history of supporting science teams in geospatial  
research, Nic is interested in supporting ICESat-2 data users and  
promoting the accessibility and usability of NSIDC DAAC data for a  
range of applications.

Speaker: Dr. Jessica Scheick, Research Assistant Professor at the  
University of New Hampshire Earth Systems Research Center

Dr. Jessica Scheick is a glaciologist, open-source software developer,  
remote sensor, and lifelong lover of snow, winter, and the outdoors.  
With a background in glaciology, remote sensing, and climate science,  
she is currently a Research Associate Professor at the University of  
New Hampshire, where she works on glaciological research,  
research-enabling open-source software projects, and climate justice  
and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. She is the lead  
developer and maintainer for the icepyx library and regularly helps  
run Hackweeks with the University of Washington's eScience Institute.
