HackHours 2025

During these stand-alone informal sessions we will get introduced to a variety of tools for ocean data access and analysis in Python and R. We will be using the NOAA Fisheries Openscapes JupyterHub and you will not need to install anything.

When: Fridays 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern. Register (open to all) Zoom registration
