Colleagues - Are you interested in working with Remote Sensing data to address science questions? Do you work with Python, yet haven’t worked with tools including GitHub or Jupyter Notebooks? If so, consider applying for the 2017 NEON Data Institute on Remote Sensing with Reproducible Workflows! The Institute will take place June 19-24, 2017 at NEON Headquarters in Boulder, CO.
More information about the event and the application process is on the NEON website: http://bit.ly/DataI17g This Data Institute is designed to teach skills and foundational knowledge for graduate students and early career scientists working with heterogeneous spatio-temporal data to address ecological questions. This year’s data theme will be remote sensing of vegetation with a focus on AOP data and associated ground data collected by NEON (e.g. vegetation structure, cover, etc). We will also integrate a theme of reproducible scientific workflows. The programming language of instruction this year will be Python. You can check out instructional materials from a related 2016 course here <http://neondataskills.org/workshop-event/NEON-Work-With-Data-Insitute-2016>. The cost of the course is $750 which includes all instruction and lunches during the course. Applications are due March 10, 2017. Feel free to repost and share this announcement with others who would benefit from the Institute. Thank you, Megan
