National Meetings

FREE WEBINAR | How and Why You Should Publish Your Geoscience Dataset

DATE

Tuesday 17 November 2020
15:00 - 16:30

Add Event to Calendar: Google

LOCATION

Virtual Meeting

The Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS) in partnership with The Geological Society of London (GSL) is hosting a special webinar on Tuesday 17 November to provide an all-round understanding of the benefits and options available in publishing dataset information.

The event, titled ‘How and why you should publish your Geoscience Dataset’ hopes to provide inspiration and guidance to those who work with datasets. The event will be chaired by Katherine Royse, Chief Digital Officer at British Geological Survey, and the format will consist of three presentations from leading experts in atmospheric and environmental science data, followed by an opportunity for questions and discussion with the speakers.

We are delighted to announce the speakers will be Douglas Schuster (Manager for the Data Engineering and Curation Section - National Center For Atmospheric Research), Garry Baker (Head of National Geoscience Data Centre - British Geological Survey) and Lucca Brocca (Director of Research - National Research Council, Research Institute for Geo-Hydrological Protection).

Software and data are essential components in driving scientific and technical advances in Geoscience research. Douglas Schuster’s presentation will look at the FAIR Data Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable); how these principles are used within Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, and how researchers can benefit from fulfilling open science expectations. Garry Baker’s session will then go on to examine the options available to authors for sharing a dataset, with discussion around various data repositories. The last session, presented by Luca Brocca, will cover the basics of writing a data paper for submission to a data journal, and the benefits of doing so.

The webinar is free of charge and will be held from 3pm to 4.30pm on Tuesday 17th November 2020 using Demio.

Registration has now closed this is event. If you would like to attend, please contact the office on 0118 956 8500 or email conferences@rmets.org
