Opportunities to identify and connect with prospective users, especially in person, are few and far between. This session would represent an invaluable opportunity to build new relationships with researchers whose science could benefit from HPC. Members of the community will hear about cutting edge technological solutions for various compute and data challenges.
All scientific data collected through USGS funding are federal records and must be publicly available. Since the OPEN Data Act was enacted in 2016, USGS scientists have gradually accepted the Government data sharing policy and have made the public data sharing processes (data releases) part of their everyday workflow. However, "legacy" data obtained by former scientist continue to gather dust even though the data are as relevant today as they were several decades ago. During this session, data managers and scientists will share insights and tricks on how to preserve and publish "legacy" datasets that have been pushed to the back burner.
Outcomes: Goals include: 1) Inspire data managers and CDI participants to consider "legacy" data preservation as a relevant and attainable goal, 2) provide a safe space for participants to share ideas, thoughts, concerns related to "legacy" data preservation, 3) provide participants resources for discussing the importance of "legacy" data preservation with their Science Center/region/department, as well as implementing "legacy" data preservation, and 4) build a community of individuals dedicated to the preservation of "legacy" data.

Stuart Wilson Title – Intro to CHS Enterprise Alteryx: How we got here, and where we are now Abstract Join us for an engaging overview of the CHS journey with Alteryx, from its origins as a pilot program to the launch of the new Enterprise environment. This talk will explore the evolution of Alteryx at CHS, highlighting the pivotal moments that shaped its adoption and development. Attendees will gain insights into the robust capabilities of Alteryx Gallery, including how it can streamline workflows, foster collaboration, and empower users to unlock the full potential of their data. Whether you're new to Alteryx or looking to expand your knowledge, this session will provide the foundational steps to get started and leverage the Enterprise environment effectively.
Chuck Hansen Title - Automate your data life for fewer errors, less stress, and better science. Abstract Alteryx can be used to easily automate nearly any data workflow or task that is regularly completed manually or with code. The automations can be scheduled to run at any interval desired, and can improve the reproducibility of scientific analyses, feed data to visualizations, or simply take the pain out of your daily tasks. I will demonstrate a few Alteryx flows that have changed my work life and have had a large impact on the organization and our capability for real-time operations and science.
Ed Reeves Title - EVSS Vulnerability Management Dashboard: Interactive Reporting with Tableau and Alteryx Abstract This dashboard integrates data from multiple sources, including Tenable, BigFix, Active Directory, and inventory systems, to provide a comprehensive view of IT vulnerabilities. Leveraging the power of Alteryx for data preparation and Tableau for dynamic visualization, this solution enables interactive, real-time insights tailored to the needs of IT centers. Key features include streamlined reporting, enhanced data integration, and actionable insights to prioritize and address vulnerabilities effectively. By sharing this system across centers, we aim to foster collaboration, improve decision-making, and strengthen overall IT security posture. This presentation will demonstrate how the dashboard simplifies complex data, enhances visibility, and supports proactive vulnerability management.
Andrew Rogers Title – Demonstrating API Calls and JSON Parsing in Alteryx Abstract Unlock the power of APIs and JSON within Alteryx in this hands-on demonstration. This talk will guide attendees through the process of making API calls directly in Alteryx workflows, retrieving data from external sources, and parsing JSON to extract valuable insights. Whether you're looking to integrate external systems, automate data retrieval, or handle complex JSON structures, this session will provide practical tips and techniques to enhance your Alteryx skills and take your workflows to the next level. Ideal for those eager to expand their capabilities and explore dynamic data integration!
Q&A Session to ask questions about what was demonstrated.
This session will be a hands-on session demonstrating workflows for accessing USGS Analysis Ready Data. There will be example workflows using R and Python and will include examples such as accessing NWIS data and reading data from SpatioTemporal Asset Catalogs (STAC) into Geospatial Information Systems.
Purpose is to help members of CDI see real uses of R and Python for accessing USGS data and data that will be specifically relevant to their science workflows. The Carpentries Lessons that we provide often use data that USGS folks have trouble relating to. This session will help bridge the gap between data/software technical skills and applying those skills to USGS science projects.
