Public data sets
When organizations make data open on AWS, scientists can access and analyze it, delivering innovative solutions to big challenges. AWS makes a variety of Public Data Sets available to researchers and the public, including:
- Landsat 8: All Landsat 8 scenes from 2015 and onward are made available each day, often within hours of production.
- NASA NEX: A collection of Earth science data sets maintained by NASA, including climate change projections and satellite images of the Earth's surface.
- NEXRAD on AWS: Real-time and archival data from the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) network.
- 1000 Genomes Project: This dataset contains the full genomic sequence of 1,700 individuals.
- The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA): Raw and processed genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) available to qualified researchers via the Cancer Genomics Cloud.
- The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC): Whole genome sequence data available to qualified researchers via The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC).

AWS Research Initiative
Peering with Global Research Networks
By peering with Global Research Networks, AWS gives researchers robust network connections to the AWS cloud. These network connections allow for reliable movement of data between your home institution, distributed data collection sites, and AWS.



AWS Cloud Credits for Research Program
The AWS Cloud Credits for Research Program supports researchers who seek to build cloud-hosted publicly available science-as-a-service applications and tools, perform proof of concept tests in the cloud, or train communities on the usage of the cloud for research workloads.
