ED51B:
Educating the Next Generation of Scientists: Interdisciplinary Education Bridging Geoscience and Data Science I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 60725

Session Description:
This session invites presentations that focus on the development of education materials for learning at the intersection of earth and data science.  Given the emergence of huge amounts of observed and model output data becoming available in the geosciences, it is crucial to educate the next generation of geoscientists to have significant skills not only in geosciences, but also in data analysis and related areas like machine learning, artificial intelligence, statistics and other types of applied mathematics.  Presentations will discuss coursework, curricula, and other materials along with the challenges and success that educators have had during development and implementation.
