Workshop: Harnessing Future Climate Data: Creating Automated Pipelines with R/Python Using University of Wyoming Open Data APIs
Monday June 23, 2025 8:00am - 9:30am MDT
The University of Wyoming (UWyo), in collaboration with UCLA, has developed a comprehensive suite of downscaled Global Circulation Models (GCMs) at a 9km resolution for the western United States. This dataset spans the years 1980-2100 and is available at daily, monthly, and annual (water year) temporal resolutions. Given the significant computational resources and carbon footprint associated with producing these datasets, as well as their substantial storage requirements, it is essential to make this valuable information more accessible to researchers and analysts. To promote reuse and reproducibility, UWyo now offers cloud-based access to these datasets. Utilizing Cloud Optimized GeoTiff (COG) file formats in conjunction with Open API endpoints, users can retrieve data on-demand, bypassing the need to download entire datasets. This workshop will provide hands-on examples using R, Python, and/or JavaScript to access and process these datasets in real-time. Participants will learn how to read geometry layers from web services, extract tabular data from APIs (e.g. converting JSON to data frames), and process cloud-optimized raster datasets. All necessary software and data will be provided, and participants are expected to have the required software installed prior to the course.

Workshop: Getting Started with SAGE3: A Collaborative Research and Visualization Platform
Monday June 23, 2025 10:00am - 12:00pm MDT
SAGE3 (Smart Amplified Group Environment) is an open-source, NSF-funded platform designed to support collaborative research, data visualization, and remote team engagement. Built on decades of research in scalable display environments, SAGE3 enables users to share, analyze, and present complex data in real time across multiple devices, from high-resolution display walls to personal laptops. Its capabilities make it particularly useful for GIS teams working on disaster response, land use planning, environmental monitoring, and other geospatial projects where collaboration and large-scale visualization are essential.

This workshop will introduce participants to SAGE3 and demonstrate how it enhances research collaboration, facilitates interactive meetings, and organizes complex data. Attendees will learn how to set up and navigate the platform, integrate data sources, and utilize its tools to streamline group discussions and decision-making.

Whether new to SAGE3 or looking to incorporate it into your workflow, this hands-on session will provide the foundational knowledge needed to use the platform effectively. For more information, visit https://sage3.sagecommons.org/.
