We are very pleased to open registration for the SIXTH joint “Hacking Limnology” Workshop Series and "Virtual Summit: Incorporating Data Science and Open Science in Aquatic Research"! The Workshops will take place 10-12 August (14:00-18:00 UTC) via zoom, and the virtual summit will take place 13-14 August (14:00-18:00 UTC) via zoom. Registration is free for everyone and will remain open until 08 August. The link to registration can be found here (https://aquaticdatasciopensci.github.io/registration/), and the schedule can be found here (https://aquaticdatasciopensci.github.io/program_2/).
For each day of the "Hacking Limnology" workshop, there will be a major theme: Identifying Lake Littoral Habitat in R, Accessing Voluminous Weather Data from your Laptop, and Accessing and Analysis NEON data. 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 teammates 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. 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 it in the 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 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.
We would greatly appreciate sharing information about the virtual summit with your department, collaborator networks, and (under)graduate students.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the summit's co-conveners,
