About the webinar

Calling graduate students, faculty and professionals from Applied Earth and Environmental Sciences! This webinar will address the foundations of applied Data Science: from available public datasets to open source tools for doing exploratory environmental data analysis, Dr. Carlos Lizárraga of the UArizona's Data Science Institute will help you get your bearings on the state of the art of Applied Earth and Environmental Sciences. He'll discuss how Machine Learning is being applied in environmental research today and present good-to-best practices for effective data visualization; ethical considerations; and emerging trends and challenges for the next generation of environmental data scientists to address. Join us and benefit from an overview of the technological state of the art and trends in this field.

What you'll learn

• available public and open source computational resources for doing applied earth and environmental science
• how ML is being applied in earth and environmental science 
• tools for data visualization of geospatial datasets
