Dr. Ames is working on a critical piece of Earth science cyberinfrastructure for GEOGLOWS and the larger GEO software ecosystem, to overcome the limitations of storage, processing speed, transmission bandwidth, and platform dependency associated with desktop computing. Highly interactive, user-friendly web applications serve a key role, acting as a medium for visualizing and conveying scientific data to stakeholders and decision-makers and providing access to complex computational back-end services, distributed data repositories, and connected modeling systems. He leads the GEOGLOWS Toolbox effort to make this capability accessible to the broader GEO community.
