DUEC: Digital, Unlocking Environmental Challenges meeting
Tuesday 5 September 2023 - Tuesday 5 September 2023
: Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, St. James’s, London SW1Y 5AG
'Since its commencement in 2019, the Constructing a Digital Environment, CDE, programme has supported a substantial body of applied environmental research across the UK, exploring the role of digital approaches and data science in advancing environmental scientific understanding and supporting environmental decision making.
On September 5th 2023, NERC will hold a one-day event at the Royal Society in London to present this work and to showcase how the ‘state-of-art’ digital approaches adopted can aid and support directly evidence-based and informed environmental decisions and policy making.
The event will cover the span of all the research projects we have supported and will draw and distil from these a set of insightful presentations, discussions and exhibitions addressing how digital approaches offer a key to unlock complex environmental challenges.' [Source: NERC website]
Our Data Systems Architect Dr Thomas Mansfield and Data Visualisation and GIS Developer Dr Benjamin O'Driscoll will be attending to demonstrate the outputs of a recent CDE funded project; Generating Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) data from high resolution sensors in the Western Channel Observatory (WCO). This exciting project increased the visibility, completeness and standardisation of the WCO’s metadata while helping users to access data from across the WCO and our partners at the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC). While Tom and Ben will be delighted to demonstrate the tools to the registrants attending, you can also try them yourself here on the WCO Website.
