First and foremost, Welcome! 🎉 🚀 🎈
Thank you for visiting the Nordic Earth System Modeling Hub project repository.
This README file is a hub to give you some information about the project.

Vision/Mission statement:
The aim of the Nordic Earth System Modeling Hub to build a Nordic ESM community within the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Estonia, Norway) for sharing knowledge, codes (climate models, Galaxy climate data analysis and visualization tools), training tutorials so that our contributions to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project can be easily exploited/reused within the Nordic countries and beyond, and by other communities.
- Students, PhDs, postdocs, researchers often have to re-invent the wheel and waste lots of time to find out where to find NorESM climate data, which model configurations are supported to run, how to visualize data over the Nordics i.e. which projection to use, etc.
- The number of inhabitants in each Nordic country is little (12 millions in Sweden, about 6 millions in Finland and Norway but 300 000 inhabitants in Iceland) so it is often difficult to find specialists working on similar problems within your own University and country.
- provide the Nordic ESM community with up to date information (i.e. documentation that can be easily updated by contributors)
- connect students, PhDs, postdocs and researchers by providing a knowledge map, listing skills and competences.
- make the Nordic contributions more visible and favor new collaborations.
The founder of the NordicESMHub is Anne.
The development of this project is mentored by [Bérénice][link_BereniceBatut] as part of the Mozilla Open Leaders Round 7.
More information can be found here.
- Web designers/developers for setting up the Nordic ESM Hub website:
- get help to create a map of knowledge listing skills and competences
- get help to set up a calendar of events on our website
- Get help to learn how to better advertise our action within the Nordics.
- Conda experts for setting up nordicesmhub conda channel so we can share our tools
- Galaxy and Python programmers for the development of tools
To get more information, see our roadmap.
If you think you can help in any of the areas listed above (and we bet you can) or in any of the many areas that we haven't yet thought of (and here we're sure you can) then please check out our contributors' guidelines and our roadmap.
Please note that it's very important to us that we maintain a positive and supportive environment for everyone who wants to participate. When you join us we ask that you follow our code of conduct in all interactions both on and offline.
If you want to report a problem or suggest an enhancement we'd love for you to open an issue at this github repository because then we can get right on it. But you can also contact us on twitter.
You can also hang out, ask questions and share stories in the NordicESMhub zulip on Zulip.
Thank you so much for visiting the project and we do hope that you'll join us on this amazing journey to support Nordic Earth System Modeling Hub.
