The development team at The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) builds software in support of the NSIDC mission:
Advancing Knowlede of Earth's Frozen Regions
NSIDC is the authoritative data management and science center for cryospheric data and research. We advance understanding of Earth’s frozen regions and the changes taking place to inform decision-making, in service to humanity and Earth.
Development at NSIDC is a broad mix of technology stacks and applications. Currently we write new code in Python, JavaScript, and Ruby but our codebase includes IDL, MATLAB, C, C++, Java, and much more. We deploy our code using tools like Jenkins, Vagrant, Puppet, Docker, and vSphere to a on-premises private cloud. All of this and more will be covered in future posts!
We work on a wide range of projects from small data analysis, large data processing pipelines, to modern interactive JavaScript web applications.
