Annual Seminar Series
Advancing Ecology and Environmental Data Science for a More Just and Equitable Future
Since 2021, NCEAS has hosted our annual Environmental Data Science seminar. The series, which is recorded and open to the public, typically features three speakers who share their research approaches and findings as they relate to the intersections of ecology, environmental data science, equity, and environmental justice. This seminar series was motivated by conversations about how we at NCEAS can foster diversity and inclusion within our scientific community, while also designing research questions and approaches to promote environmental justice and equity across our broader community.
Join us this spring for NCEAS’s fifth iteration of our popular seminar series. This year our theme is 'Leveraging AI for environmental good’.
