I am so excited to share this new project with NASA and @developmentseed.org . By applying Icechunk and the "virtualization" approach, we can make Petabytes of archival data accessible to high performance analytics. Unlocking NASA's cloud archives will have immense downstream benefits for the world.
1/ 🚀 Solving #NASA ’s cloud data dilemma: Icechunk unlocks 100x faster access to archival data formats
We're thrilled to publish results from our pilot project with NASA and @developmentseed.org to enable high-performance cloud-native access for NASA’s 100s of petabytes of Earth observation data.

The most heartbreaking joke I have heard was on Thursday in a virtual meeting with NOAA colleagues who received their letter. "Now we really need to keep our meeting on time so we can go back to pack our office." These are one of the most dedicated and mission-driven people I have worked with.

Great to see the official @noaa.gov climate account here!
In case you missed it: 2024 was the world's warmest year since @noaa.gov records began in 1850.
Global surface temperature was 2.32°F (1.29°C) above the 20th-century average. The 10 warmest years since 1850 have all occurred in the past decade.
