• AWS and the NASA Earth eXchange are making over 20 TB of NASA’s Climate and Earth Science data available to the public
• NASA is providing Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) with pre-installed software that makes it easy to analyze and visualize this data using Amazon’s complement of “Big Data” services
• This enables crowd-sourced, citizen-science applications like those found on the Zooniverse
