HeFDI Data Talk: NFDI4Earth – The National Research Data Infrastructure for the Earth System Sciences

The NFDI4Earth started almost 2 years ago, is one of the largest NFDI consortia, and comprises all domains of the Earth System Sciences (ESS), e.g., the deep Earth, marine sciences, climatology, geography, geoinformatics, or planetology in general. A core product is the OneStop4All, a web page that addresses the needs of the researchers on all levels. This webpage is currently undergoing internal reviews and will go live in the first half of 2024. The second core product are ways for all researchers to participate in the NFDI4Earth: Interest Groups form by initiative of ESS researchers, the Academy for early career scientists that organises e.g., networking meetings or hackathons, funding for topical research data management (RDM) projects as a pilot, incubator, or an educational theme, and online ESS training material through EduTrain. The connection of the NFDI to state initiatives such as HeFDI is vital for the increasingly important field of RDM. We will present how the NFDI4Earth works, provide an example from a pilot, and report on the progress of a joint project with HeFDI that uses Jupyter Notebooks.
