    <div>Abstract: </div>
    <div>"Writing code is a given for many modern students; research progress cannot happen without some form of data manipulation, and for those of us in the earth sciences, the data volumes may be large (&gt;= terabyte) and may require specialized software to manipulate. This data volume challenge is a relatively new one, instigated by ever-higher data resolutions and our ability to not only measure but also store and transmit massive amounts of data. However, our need for managing and processing such large data volumes has not kept pace with our tools and expertise, and it's easy to fall back to old habits of downloading data and coding in relative isolation. Despite these challenges, a team of researchers, data scientists, and software engineers - brought together by the ICESat-2 mission - are demonstrating how collaboration and intentional opportunities for learning can transform research and make open science and cloud computing a reality. This talk will highlight two components of this paradigm: the icepyx community and software library and hackweeks. Hackweeks are a short-format training model developed by practitioners at the University of Washington's eScience Institute. The model emphasizes creating a positive learning environment in which to provide interactive tutorials and peer learning through project work. Learners of all levels collaborate to share their expertise while building technical and open science skills. From the first ICESat-2-themed Hackweek emerged icepyx, a community and software library aimed at improving ICESat-2 data access and computational workflows. As a community, icepyx provides opportunities for researchers to practice collaborative development in a beginner-friendly environment, which can increase the likelihood they will contribute their research software to a shared repository. As software, icepyx is used for over 40% of all ICESat-2 data downloads from NASA's NSIDC data archive center and is working to provide cloud-optimized data access for ICESat-2 data products. As part of a broader ecosystem of tools and people, hackweeks and icepyx are part of a collaborative, educational paradigm redefining the ways in which we enable successful scientific research." </div>

    <div>Biography:</div>
    <div>Dr. Jessica Scheick is a glaciologist, open-source software developer and maintainer, remote sensing expert, open science advocate, and lifelong lover of snow, winter, and the outdoors. She is currently a Research Assistant Professor at the University of New Hampshire and Affiliate with the University of Washington's eScience Institute. Her background is in remote sensing, climate science, and glaciology, focusing on glacier dynamics, ice-ocean interactions, and icebergs. Jessica's current work centers on research-enabling, open-source software projects and collaborative development education across the earth sciences. She is the lead developer and maintainer for the icepyx library and community, and a member, contributor, and/or maintainer to multiple other open-source software packages and communities, including Xarray, earthaccess, CryoCloud, and Pangeo. Jessica regularly leads hackweeks with the UW eScience team, working as Community Lead for four ICESat-2-themed events. When she's not working, you can usually find Jessica enjoying the outdoors, skiing, dancing, or working on the foundation of an old building.</div>

Looking for one female roommate for a furnished bedroom including linens in a Maiden Choice area private single-family home. The landlord couple resides in the home and would prefer a kind person that respects diversity that are a UMBC/UMB Graduates or Junior/Senior Undergraduates that are non-smokers within the home, non-drug users, pet-free, and a tidy person to share a large open concept newly renovated 4 bedroom and 3.5 bathroom on a dead-end quiet street. If you have a medical support animal; no cats or shedding animals are allowed due to allergies, and you will need your updated documents from your physician and veterinarian. All medical and support animals must remain in the tenant’s bedroom and crated when not home or in their room. You will have to submit proof of renter’s insurance. Other than medical support animals, absolutely no other animals are allowed. We currently have a non-shedding older friendly labradoodle that will not be crated, will not run away if the door is left open, and the sole responsibility of the landlord.</span></span></p>
    <p>Why pay $1,304 per month for 9 months, and have to bring everything to use in a kitchen and bathroom with you, including your linens to live in the campus apartments? My house is less than 2 miles from the UMBC campus and close to two shopping centers with stops to both sites and in walking distance to my house. The UMBC Shuttle and public transportation bus stop is located a short walk over to the next block. The UMBC Transit runs buses almost every 15 minutes from the Paradise-Purple Line during the week from 7am-12am (Leeds Avenue and Colchester Road bus stop pickup location is roughly picking up around 7:25am &amp; again around 7:45am) and the UMBC transits adds a third bus during the week around 10am, <a href="https://live.goswift.ly/umbc/route/PRD/stop/4755" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Transit Predictions (goswift.ly)</a>. The Purple-Paradise line in the most reliable of all the transit schedules. The room for rent is a first-floor bedroom master suite with private bathroom and two closets including hangers, dresser with mirror, tall dresser, full bed, two nightstands, vanity desk with stool and a new smart TV, new bedroom linens and new bath towels. You have access to the front covered large porch, an open area kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals, living and dining rooms with a large TV, and laundry room. Wi-Fi with streaming cable services is in all the bedrooms and in the large common area. All utilities are included; water, gas and electric, Wi-Fi and again streaming services. We will only rent to ONE FEMALE, since the house will be shared with two female UMBC students and the landlord couple too.  We have lease restrictions for overnight guests and shared cleaning responsibilities. There is street parking that we ask our tenants to be respectful to our neighbors and park directly in front of our house only. We are still doing minor renovations to the outside landscaping and foundation boarder. The bedroom suite is available on August 29th and after. We prefer a 9 month or a month-to-month lease starting immediately until the first week of June 2025, that includes Winter and Spring Breaks. The rent is $1,200 FIRM a month, and the deposit is $600!  We’re a private home and not a campus apartment or dorm, nor an Airbnb. All you need to do is bring your personal belongings and books!  If interested, call <a rel="nofollow external" class="bo">410-999-4668</a>, Monday-Friday, 6pm to 8pm, to discuss and a time to show you the house.</p>
