MBON Pole to Pole of the Americas: Tools for the analysis of biodiversity data using OBIS and remote sensing data
Summary

This second workshop builds on activities and achieved goals from a first meeting in Sao Sebastiao, Brazil, August 6-10, 2018. The purpose is to continue the development of a community of practice dedicated to understanding change in marine biodiversity and generating knowledge and products that inform conservation and management strategies of marine living resources by engaging researchers, managers and policy-makers with interest in biodiversity monitoring and data synthesis and analysis. During this workshop participants will:
 
  • Advance already agreed field sampling protocols for rocky shores and sandy beaches;
  • Manipulate tabular and spatial data already collected at their study sites for standardized data formats using Darwin Core vocabularies and quality controls;
  • Develop specific vocabularies for flora and fauna of rocky shore and sandy beach measured during field surveys;
  • Publish survey datasets to the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) using tools for sharing data;
  • Advance knowledge on data science tools (R, Rmarkdown, Github) to mine data, visualize and analysis, and produce reproducible research documents with interactive visualizations onto the web.

In order to partcipate, you will need to complete the Application Survey at https://goo.gl/forms/e8luOKT4lOkeunQq1, before the survey deadline of December 31, 2018 at 11:59pm (EST).
