The National Science Foundation (NSF) EarthCube initiative is a community-driven project aimed at creating an integrated environment for the sharing of geoscience data and knowledge in an open, transparent, and inclusive manner. All members of the geoscience community are invited to participate in the 2016 EarthCube All Hands Meeting, to be held July 6-8, 2016 in Denver, Colorado.
The theme for this year's meeting is “EarthCube Connects,” emphasizing the connectivity between cyberinfrastructure (CI) technologies, geoscience domains, and geoscientists that is EarthCube's focus.

The Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) version 5.3 is now available. This version of IDV has notable system, display, and data improvements.
IDV 5.3 takes advantage of the latest versions of the netCDF-Java and VisAD libraries, both of which allow more efficient data access than previous versions. This leads to less memory use on the local system while still providing the same functionality as the prior IDV releases.
