Storing your data in a repository like Borealis makes it easy for other researchers, publishers, and collaborators to find, use, and cite your data. It supports the Open Science movement goals of transparency, accessibility, and collaboration, and can increase attention to your work. Please join us for this short hands-on workshop to learn how to […]
Dive into the latest trends and strategies in public policy, with a special focus on the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) and the influential role of social media.
Marginal seas offer invaluable insights into the effects of human activities on marine ecosystems, often revealing localized impacts before they manifest in larger marine systems. The Sea of Marmara, a near-enclosed basin characterized by its natural permanent stratification, stands as a recognized biological corridor connecting the Mediterranean and the Black Seas. Surrounded by the densely […]
Abstract: Building on our previous Python workshop, today we will cover more advanced scientific computing in Python. We will talk about speeding up calculations and working with mathematical arrays with NumPy, working with dataframes in Pandas, and working with scientific datasets with xarray. Setup & Software Installation: You need to have Python installed on your […]
