OD24B:
Feast After the Famine: Discoveries Based on Big Data Poster Lightning


Session ID#: 38902

Session Description:
The quantity and variety of data and data science tools available to oceanographers, ecologists, and marine scientists continue to increase at exponential rates, revolutionizing hypothesis testing and enabling new discoveries. How can new data and combinations of data from different sources be used to address significant, longstanding questions across the marine sciences? What insights can be gleaned by applying data science methods and tools to existing data sources? This session welcomes submissions that highlight data science in the ocean sciences; these could include insights gained from technology (Argo floats, gliders, satellites, ocean observatories, flow cytometry, acoustics, etc.), methods (machine learning, statistical modeling, computer vision, image analysis, data management, visualization, etc.) or techniques (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, velocimetry, high resolution modeling, etc.) . We also encourage submissions related to education including designing data science courses and improving reproducibility of results.
