Geoscientific disciplines such as meteorology, climate research and earth observation require high-performance digital infrastructures in order to be able to work with the rapidly growing volumes of measurement data and increasingly finer-resolution simulation models. This demand will continue to increase in the coming years due to new generations of geoscientific models / data assimilation systems. At an international level, programs such as Destination Earth (DestinE), the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and EGI take this need into consideration, as do commercial initiatives such as Gaia-X or the Google Earth Engine. At national level, infrastructures in the geosciences sector that pursue a cooperative approach and/or serve a public interest have been promoted and are now integrated into the European landscape of e-infrastructure providers. Future challenges require further expansion / networking of these e-infrastructures.
