<b>Dear friends of data driven Earth system sciences:</b>
<div class="moz-forward-container">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">The Earth
System Data Lab (ESLD) <a
href="https://www.earthsystemdatalab.net/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.earthsystemdatalab.net/</a>
and iLEAPS <a href="http://www.ileaps.org/"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.ileaps.org/</a> invite
young researchers to participate in a call for “early
adopters” of the interface we build to explore Earth system
processes at the global scale:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
<b>What is the ESDL?</b></p>
<p>A new virtual lab developed by an ESA project to
simultaneously access a wide array of Earth observations
across space, time and variables. Note, the idea is not to
access high-resolution Satellite data, but rather to explore
the joint information of derived data streams as produced by
several international scientific teams (e.g. the ESA CCI
projects). The ESDL consist of a highly curated “Earth system
data cube” to investigate land-atmosphere interactions, and an
interface to execute your own analyses on the data cube (using
julia and python). </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><br>
<b>Who can apply?</b></p>
<p>This call is directed at early career researchers to co-shape
these early developments of the ESDL. If you are a researcher
at an early stage of your career, you are cordially invited
submit a concise proposal for a self-contained project to
showcase the potential and the limitations of the ESDL and
help shaping it’s future way. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%"><b>How to
apply?</b></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%">Submit a
mini-proposal – 1000 words or less – explaining your intended
project. The mini-proposals should clarify your scientific
idea, question or application. Please specify which data
streams you intend to use (from the ones already listed on the
website, but feel free to request others), and in which
context the research can be realized (your master thesis, your
PhD thesis, your night time hobby, …). For details see:<a
