Welcome to the EAGE Annual 2024 Hackathon on Coding to Net Zero!🌍

Welcome!

We will use Github Discussions for communication and we will update along the way.

You will find two threads to use before the hackathon:

Use this thread if you are looking for a team
Use this thread to post any ideas.
Use this thread for tips, tricks, and supporting information

The theme of this hackathon is a little different than normal - the theme of coding to net zero can be taken in several dimensions. Ultimately we encourage each team to think about sustainability in what we do as programmers/data scientists/geoscientists/engineers and the energy footprint our workflows have.

We have thought of three possible dimensions on the topic to hack within:

1. Big data workflows - processes/algorithms that run for Seismic and Reservoir simulation - can we optimize these to be faster or use less heavy computations? Can AI help here? Can we swap out different types of solvers?
2. Optimization of existing algorithms and codebases - are there open source packages out there that could be improved for speed? Are there existing processing algorithms for anything from the geoscience or engineering realms that could have less footprint than today?
3. New energy solutions - anything from more sustainable climate modeling to how to improve our workflows for carbon capture - hack on an idea that revolves around the larger Net-Zero challenge.
4. Something else?

We expect that teams hack on their idea with real or synthetic examples and good approach to the scientific method. We expect there to be testing with actual data (real or synthetic) and actual technology.
