Welcome to Galaxy for Earth System and environment

{:.no_toc}
Galaxy for Earth System and environment was implemented within the project [**Fair-Ease**](https://fairease.eu/){:target="_blank"}. It's a virtual platform to process, analyse and visualize Earth System, Environment and Biodiversity data. It is based on the [Galaxy framework](https://galaxyproject.org){:target="_blank"}, which guarantees simple access, easy extension, flexible adaption to personal and security needs, and sophisticated analyses independent of command-line knowledge.

• How to use ODV collections

Workflows

To orchestrate tools and help users with their analyses, several workflows{:target="_blank"} will be available. They formally orchestrate tools in a defined order and with defined parameters, but they are customizable (tools, order, parameters).
