A Science Gateway as a Hub for Island Resilience

The Change Hawaii (Change(HI)) project is fundamentally addressing the existential threat of climate change in Hawaii by integrating data and climate science to foster statewide resilience, enhance decision science, and support workforce development in critical fields. A cornerstone of this initiative is the \textbf{Hawaii Climate Data Portal (HCDP)}, which operates as a vital science gateway and data hub \cite. The HCDP's primary objective is to build capacity through advanced data science and artificial intelligence (AI), serving as a robust resource for monitoring, visualizing, and communicating environmental change \cite{longman_hawaii_2024}. Its critical role is highlighted by its extensive provision of climate data and its Application Programming Interface (API), which is instrumental in the development and functionality of diverse decision support tools tailored for various stakeholders across the state. This paper details the HCDP's integration with the Tapis API platform, and its successful application in developing actionable climate science outcomes for Hawaii.
