Experts at the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) have launched a new technical blog for sharing expertise about how we manage petabytes of data. The CEDA team has a wealth of expertise in world-leading data management practices and software engineering that we use to support the environmental science community. We want to share our knowledge, best practices and lessons learnt with others - so have launched a new CEDA Technical Blog . This blog aims to showcase how our team uses open source tools to efficiently manage multi-petabytes of environmental data and collaborate with international research projects working on society’s most pressing environmental issues. ...

We have two new opportunities for graduates to join the CEDA team. Follow the links below for more information and how to apply. ...

Dear users Please note the following JASMIN updates: 1) Tape services maintenance 13-14 September Tape services including Elastic Tape and the Near-Line Archive service will be unavailable due to system maintenance/upgrade work on 13th & 14th September.
