FSCI 2021

FSCI courses are now closed. Course attendees must go to the course OSF page do see course materials and Zoom links.

--------

Expectations of collaboration and contribution in the Earth, Space, and Environmental Sciences (ESES) are not always transparent. Increasingly scientists must navigate modern workflows that require an understanding of and attention to changing standards for publications and their associated research products. This course will take emerging and established researchers in Earth Science domains through current approaches to discipline-specific research workflows, including reproducibility, publishing, preserving and sharing data, and setting up computational and software environments at scale.

Attendees will leave with ideas and methods for constructing their own research workflows that incorporate ESES tools and perspectives.

Six sessions will be offered within the following three themes: Publishing, Data and Computation

Please note: Unlike most FSCI courses, there are no repeated live sessions in this class to accommodate all time zones. They are staggered so that everyone can reasonably attend at least some sessions – but all 7 course sessions below are unique and only offered once. Please take note of when the sessions will run in your time zone; attendees may need to watch recordings of at least some sessions.
