k-rns/workshop_data_reuse
Sep 2021 - Nov 2021
Data reuse saves time and accelerates the pace of scientific discovery. But how do you actually reuse the data that you put in repositories? This is a 4 hour workshop tailored to the ocean sciences. We aim to teach the basics of data reuse using ERDDAP servers maintained by ocean science specific repo's and programs and pulling these data into the Python environment.
