Thank you for your interest in the joint AEMON-J "Hacking Limnology" Virtual Workshop and the 2024 Virtual Summit: Incorporating Data Science and Open Science in Aquatic Research (#DSOS24)!
The "Hacking Limnology" Workshop will take place on July 15-17, 2024 14:00-18:00 UTC (10:00-14:00 EDT).
The 2024 Virtual Summit will take place on July 18-19, 2024 14:00-18:00 UTC (10:00-14:00 EDT).
You can find tentative schedules for the Workshop and the summit on the website (
https://aquaticdatasciopensci.github.io/).
There is no cost for either event.
For each day of the "Hacking Limnology" workshop (AEMON-J workshop series), there will be a major theme (e.g., remote sensing, ecological forecasting, catchment modeling). The general schedule for each day will include a keynote presentation followed by a live Q&A session. The majority of the time will be dedicated to a hands-on coding workshop, where attendees will gain experience in each of the three main themes. Lastly, each day will end with the heart of any AEMON-J meeting: a break-out group format, which will be geared towards spurring new research projects and ideas. Here, we want to engage everybody to find new team mates and initiate collaborations.
For the Virtual Summit: Incorporating Data Science and Open Science in Aquatic Research (DSOS), we will host 10 minute talks from 20 presenters with Live Q&A sessions. Additionally, this year's summit will feature a "Careers in DSOS" panel and an "Operationalizing Interoperability" panel. The summit is intended to bring together diverse, energetic folks who are passionate to share how they bring data science and open science into their research. To get an idea of how the summit will run, you can read about the it in the
2020,
2021,
2022, and
2023 L&O Bulletin pieces.
For those who may be curious but less familiar, data science combines mathematics and statistics, computer science, and domain expertise to enable prediction and insight for problems that are otherwise too computationally demanding or data-intensive to be analyzed with traditional tools. Open Science is the practice of making tools that enable transparency into scientific design, analysis, and reporting, such that future researchers -- and curious individuals in general -- can access and reproduce others' work. By bringing together speakers who practice data science and open science techniques, this virtual summit is intended to discuss how limnologists and oceanographers (1) work with big data, (2) develop new modeling frameworks, (3) develop tools and software for the larger community, and (4) apply their work for natural resource management and monitoring purposes.
By partnering DSOS with AEMON-J, we hope that this venue brings together a diverse array of aquatic scientists, who are all interested in data-intensive techniques.
