June 24-27, 2024 in Algiers, Algeria
Engaging with Open Science for Agriculture
Using NASA Climate Data
A hybrid workshop at Centre de Recherche en Économie Appliquée pour le Développement (CREAD), Algiers, Algeria. The workshop consists of instructor-led, hands-on-keyboard computing exercises in the morning and guest lectures in the afternoons. The computing exercises will feature, over the last two days, our NASA-funded ScienceCore curriculum, which emphasizes the use of publicly available NASA data for reproducible climate- and agriculture-related studies.
Workshop computing exercises will be entirely in Python and learners are expected to bring their own laptops; see Installation and Setup requirements here. Workshop will be taught in English with French and Arabic facilitation; workshop materials will be made available in French and Arabic in late Summer 2024.
