ITS_LIVE: Simplifying access to global glaciological big data
GeoPython 2022

[ITS_LIVE](https://its-live.jpl.nasa.gov/) is a NASA MEaSUREs project that produces low latency, global glacier flow and elevation change datasets. The size and complexity of this data makes its distribution and use a challenge. To address these problems, ITS_LIVE was built for modern cloud-optimized data formats and includes easy-to-use Jupyter notebooks for data access and visualization.

This presentation will show how ITS_LIVE uses the Pangeo stack to generate zarr data cubes that make quick access possible without the need of a back-end service. We will also delve into our data access strategy and how we leverage the Jupyter ecosystem to create ipyleaflet-based notebooks to visualize big data in a matter of seconds.
