Earth data analysis in Galaxy
On this page
Whether you are analysing geosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere, in short all Earth related sciences this is the place to be!
What is available?
Tools
Tools for earth data analysis are freely available in the ToolShed which can be installed on any Galaxy server.
If tools are missing or information is not up-to-date in the list, please help us! Contact us on Matrix channel Earth Climate Ecology Sciences or reach out by mail to one of us Marie, Yvan or Jérôme about it.
Workflows and tutorials
Several curated Galaxy workflows are publicly available for different kinds of earth data analysis. Many of these are accompanied by comprehensive GTN Tutorials that will guide you through the analysis step by step.
