**Research Scientist @ [NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) / Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC), University of Maryland](https://essic.umd.edu/)** \
**Co-Founder @ [CryoCloud](https://cryointhecloud.com)**

I am one of the leads of the CryoCloud community meant to help geoscientist transition to cloud computing, which revolves around a JupyterHub cloud computing platform. I provide training, maintain our environments, and develop data workflows that are idealized for geoscience work in the cloud.
I'm also a research scientist in the Cryospheric Sciences Lab at NASA GSFC and ESSIC. My research foci are glaciology, oceanography, cloud computing, and open science.

## Complete the CryoCloud onboarding process

Follow the
[CryoCloud "getting started" documentation](https://book.cryointhecloud.com/getting-started)
to gain access to CryoCloud.
1. Fill out this short [Getting Started Survey](https://forms.gle/d8oP1gp9YikS2ixM8) to give us the
required information to get you on the hub.


2. Once we have your survey, within the next day or two we will invite you to the CryoCloud GitHub organization and CryoCloudUsers team (you will receive an email when we do this from GitHub **at the email you have linked to your GitHub profile**). Please accept this invitation within 7 days or it will disappear and we will need to resend it. Your membership on that GitHub team provides you with access to the CryoCloud hub.


3. Open up the [CryoCloud JupyterHub](https://hub.cryointhecloud.com) to make sure it works for you.
You will need your Github username and password to sign on. A 404 error message means you are not yet part of the GitHub org and need to accept the invitation from GitHub first.


### ⚠️ Critical: Accept the invitation to join the CryoCloud team
