14:00-14:45 UTC - Keynote: My "Google Summer of Code" Journey with IOOS and PyOBIS
|
|
Mehraz Rumman (IMARS)
|
| In this talk, I will share highlights from my Google Summer of Code project. I will discuss the importance of caching in a Python REST API client for research purposes, as well as my contributions to improving documentation. I will also cover my work in data analysis and exploration, including machine learning, species distribution modeling (SDM), and data selection. |
A live stream of the pre-recorded keynote will begin at 14:00 UTC, followed immediately by a live Question and Answer session with the speaker.

14:45-15:00 UTC - Break

15:00-17:00 UTC - Workshop: Mapping biodiversity indicator species using open data
|

The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), with NOAA's U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) as part of it, uses Biological and Ecological Essential Ocean Variables (BioEco EOVs) to standardize ocean observing data from communities like the
Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON). The GOOS Biology and BioEco Variables focus on the abundance and distribution of key aquatic organisms. Using predefined lists of species, one can query biological occurrence data from the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS)
and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). After querying, users can analyze OBIS and GBIF occurrence data to study the abundance and distribution of these BioEco Variables. This occurrence data can then be combined with gridded and tabular environmental data served
by ERDDAP to further analyze into products (e.g. species distribution models). In this workshop we will demonstrate the tools and techniques for assessing ecosystem health using this open science framework.

|
This workshop will be live.

|
The workshop materials can be found in this Github repo. Although it is not necessary to follow along during the workshop (and some code chunks will take a while to run),
if you want to run the provided Jupyter notebooks, you will need to have a google account.

17:00-18:00 UTC Breakout/Working Groups Sessions
|
|
A traditional part of AEMON-J meetings in the past has been to openly discuss ideas for new, joint projects.
This time in the schedule is to bring up such ideas, perhaps inspired by the workshops earlier that day, and discuss.
If no such ideas are pitched, this time can also be used for small talk, networking, and other social activities.
