Environmental Data Science Seminar Series
Welcome to Earth Lab's Earth Data Science (EDS) Seminar Series, hosted at the University of Colorado Boulder. Semi-weekly on Tuesdays from 11:00-11:50 AM (MST), our speakers will bring new perspectives and present their work in the field of EDS.
Topics cover use of *big data* to advance knowledge of the dynamics and interactions of the Earth system, towards actionable insights and tools. These weekly sessions are intended to:
- inspire collaborations;
- tickle the imagination for creative data science solutions; and
- learn about new topics in environmental sciences.
Each seminar will be led by someone and can take various forms: lectures, data jams, practice conference talks, paper discussions, brainstorming, etc.
This event is a hybrid format: university affiliates may attend in-person, and the general public may attend remotely via Zoom. Join our mailing list to receive the zoom link & calendar invite (instructions below).
If you are unable to attend live, our seminars are usually recorded and posted to our blog & youtube channel. (tip: Search for these talks on our blog webpage by using the tag ‘EDS Seminar Series’.)
