Earth Lab EDS Seminar

Earth Lab EDS Seminar

Are you looking to broaden your perspectives in Earth and environmental data science? Are you excited to collaborate with others and hear about new developments in this area?

Topics must be about using *big data* to advance knowledge of the dynamics and interactions of the Earth system, towards actionable insights and tools

Starting Spring 2022, Earth Lab will be hosting a regular weekly 50-min seminar series on topics related to Environmental Data Science (EDS) that uses big data to advance knowledge of the dynamics and interactions of the Earth systems, towards actionable insights and tools.

These weekly sessions are intended to inspire collaboraitons and creative problem solving using data and analytics for a broad range of environmental science topics. Each week will be led by someone and can take on many forms: data jams, ractice conference talks (15 min) w/ Q&A, paper Discussions, brainstorming, 30 min lecture, other. 

Purpose: To reignite collaborations by inspiring creative problem solving by sharing the many interesting projects and work that Earth Lab and affiliates have been doing to advance the use of data for environmental challenges. 
 
Who: Earth Lab affiliates, CU affiliates, and other interested parties are invited to attend.
When: Tuesdays 11:00-11:50 AM (MST) beginning on 1/18/22
Where: Remote (Zoom and VizStudio).
What: View the schedule of events here.  
Why: We wish to reinvigorate the Earth Lab community and facilitate collaborative interactions that have been challenging during extended work-from-home time.
 
To receive weekly announcements and reminders about future talks, SIGN UP HERE to be added to our listserv. 
 
Also attached is a recurring calendar invite. This is a series invite, if you ever plan to attend, please “tentatively accept” and decline individual events once this is saved to your calendar. 

This week's topic: Assessing Growth in Students’ Earth Data Science Skills & Abilities

Speaker: Nate Quarderer - CIRES Earth Lab

A Use-Inspired Approach to Ecosystem Science in the Anthropocene

Eve Hinckley

Abstract:  We now live in an era characterized predominately by our influence on the planet—the Anthropocene—with rising air temperatures, accelerated biogeochemical cycles, and widespread disturbances, such as wildfire. These forcings have dramatically changed the structure and function of Earth’s ecosystems and threaten our life support systems—air, land, and water. Creating a path to a livable future requires drawing on scientific approaches across the Earth and environmental sciences and integrating the results of that research into creative, multi-faceted solutions. This is use-inspired research. In my talk, I will discuss how my research group and I have developed projects that cut across biogeochemistry, hydrology, and critical zone science to address both fundamental questions about how ecosystems work and are changing, as well as collaborating with land managers, policymakers, and regulators to create solutions for sustainable land management. Highlights include: (1) developing novel isotopic methods to advance understanding of modern changes to sulfur (S) cycling; (2) informing pesticide and water management in California; (3) integrating geophysics with measurements of reactive elements (C, N, S, and Hg) to determine how melting subsurface ice features will alter biogeochemical processes, as well as the health of wildlife in remote alpine areas; and (4) designing international observatory networks that foster broader participation in science and yield data availability where few humans go. Throughout the talk, I will also share the motivation for my own journey as a scientist, my vision for a productive research program within CIRES, and the potential that I see for fruitful collaboration across the Institute.

Dr. Hinckley is an Assistant Professor and Associate Chair of Undergraduate Students in the Department of Environmental Studies and a Fellow of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research.
