What is a community hub?
A hub is a cloud environment where your community can access shared tools, data, and computational resources.

.How we are different
As a non-profit, our only obligation is to the research and education communities we serve. Your Right to Replicate means you can take your infrastructure anywhere, with or without us.
We listen to researchers and educators, then work with upstream open source projects on solutions that benefit the whole ecosystem, not just our members.
Our network connects communities across disciplines. When geoscientists and biologists face similar challenges, we bridge the gap through shared tools and practices.
Recent work
We share our progress and impact on our blog.
Giving users a dedicated /tmp disk with Kubernetes ephemeral volumes
We recently figured out a simple way to give individual users their own /tmp folder so that they have more space in a cost-effective way. /tmp is often used for storing intermediate data files and processing steps, but a few communities like MAAP and EarthScope were running into size limits.
How we set up an AI-enabled hub for the NASA Earth Responsible GenAI workshop
This summer, we participated in the Responsible GenAI for NASA Earthdata workshop, a community gathering organized by University of Washington’s eScience institute, to explore how others were using GenAI in their workflows across the NASA community, and share best practices.
A few things I learned at the Responsible GenAI for NASA Earth Data Workshop
I recently got back from the 2026 Responsible GenAI for NASA EarthData workshop in Seattle. It was an opportunity for members across the NASA ecosystem to share their experiences experimenting and learning with Generative AI models around Earth Data.
