TERENO-NEON Carbon Workshop

admin — Wed, 08 May 2019 09:15:36 +0000

The TERENO-NEON Carbon Workshop will take place in Düren, Germany, July 2019.

We support students to attend!

This 2019 Carbon summer workshop will provide an opportunity to learn how to use ‘big data’ from the Terrestrial Environmental Observatories (TERENO), National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) and Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) large networks of observatories while discussing an understanding of atmospheric, ecosystem, and below ground carbon processes, and the associated means to estimate CO2 and its role in the climate system. This Carbon summer workshop will also help develop the skills to access and use data in practice from a diversity of sources, including different networks. We will have a strong practical component that focuses on the data use. Both the scientific understanding and the data use will be brought together in group exercises.

We are accepting applications!

INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL Data FAIRness in Environmental & Earth Science Infrastructures: theory and practice

admin — Fri, 15 Mar 2019 13:41:53 +0000

Lecce, 01 – 05 July 2019

In recent years, one of the major challenges in the Environmental and Earth Science has been managing and searching larger volumes of data, collected across multiple disciplines. Many different standards, approaches, and tools have been developed to support the phases of the Data Lifecycle (Data Acquisition, Data Curation, Data Publishing, Data Processing and Data Use). In particular, modern semantic technologies provide a promising way to properly describe and interrelate different data sources in ways that reduce barriers to data discovery, integration, and exchange among biodiversity and ecosystem resources and researchers.

The course would focus on the specific Data FAIRness phase in the Environmental and Earth sciences. It is built as a five-day summer school where leading scientists will address this topic from different perspectives.

The attempt is to gather what we consider the most interesting perspectives of our time.

We offer a cutting edge and high-quality programme, aimed at fostering a rich and lively intellectual exchange.

Structure & schedule

The International Summer School will be organised in front lessons and workshop sessions. The main modules are:

DATA MANAGEMENT in a nutshell
to be FINDABLE
to be ACCESSIBLE
to be INTEROPERABLE
to be REUSABLE

The summer school will use the LifeWatch ERIC training platform for all modules to accompany participants in the learning process and enabling the access to its resources and products.

Participants

The school is mainly addressed to staff working in the relevant international research infrastructures.

The school is also open to PhD students, Post-Docs and Master students about to start a Doctorate.

LifeWatch ERIC and ENVRIplus financially support accommodation (from 30 June to 6 July inclusive), lunches, a welcome and a social dinner for maximum 20 participants. Travel expenses will not be covered by the organisers.

Partcipants will be notified by email. The registration form is available on this website.

Deadline for registration 30 April 2019.

Workshop on Interoperability Technologies and Best Practices in Environmental Monitoring

admin — Mon, 30 Jul 2018 11:33:34 +0000

EU Coastal and Open Sea Observatories – Workshop on Interoperability Technologies and Best Practices in Environmental Monitoring

Brest, 10-12 October 2018

(Registration deadline: 5th September)

Long-term in situ marine observation, be it coastal or open sea, seafloor or water-column, is achieved by a variety of devices and systems operated by a number of teams meeting different demands in multiple contexts. In spite of this diversity, operators and users are facing a set of common constraints and have obvious benefits in sharing practices and means.

Under the auspices of the European Commission, JERICO-RI, EMSO ERIC and AtlantOS, are participating to the international effort to harmonize the practices of this domain and to push up the interoperability technologies for sharing ocean instruments:

The Joint European Research Infrastructure Network For Coastal Observatories (JERICO-RI, www.jerico-ri.eu ) is a solid and transparent European network dedicated to providing operational services for the timely, continuous and sustainable delivery of high-quality environmental data and information products related to the marine environment in European coastal seas.
The European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water-column Observatory European Research Infrastructure Consortium (EMSO ERIC, www.emso-eu.org ) is a distributed Research Infrastructure of marine observatories addressing natural hazards, climate change, and marine ecosystems in the service of science researchers, marine technology engineers, policymakers, and the public.
AtlantOS (Optimising and Enhancing the Integrated Atlantic Ocean Observing Systems, www.atlantos-h2020.eu ) is a Blue Growth research and innovation project that proposes the integration of ocean observing activities across all disciplines for the Atlantic, considering European as well as non-European partners.

On the occasion of the Sea Tech Week 2018 in Brest (France) ( www.seatechweek.eu ), EMSO ERIC, JERICO-RI and AtlantOS are jointly proposing a 3-day workshop for technical and scientific staff, aiming to increase the level of marine observation practices.

Building on the results of previous similar interoperability workshops, the event will focus on:

Sensor Web Enablement implementation,
Cabled coastal observatories operations,
Metrology of dissolved oxygen, pCO 2 and pH in the marine environment,
Dissolved oxygen and temperature: seafloor and water column data, from a sensor to users.

Agenda

A detailed agenda can be found here.

Registration

The organising committee will select applications according to the relevance of the applicants

experience to the conference and according to the availability of seats and rooms.

Pre-registrations are open on the following link: Registration Form.

The deadline for pre-registration is on the Wednesday 05th of September 2018.

The final approved participant list will be established for the 10th of September 2018.
