Registrations are now open for the NERC event on environmental data transformation being held at the National Oceanography Centre on the 9th March 2012.
This event is one of three exploring Environmental Data Transformation. Click here to see the other two related events.
The events will showcase NERC funded capabilities in Data Transformation through a series of presentations and open panel discussions on how technologies, techniques and capabilities could benefit industry. There will also be an opportunity to network with NERC-funded researchers and to discuss particular requirements further.
Data Transformation is defined as the technologies and techniques used to develop environmental knowledge and data for use in commercial or societal applications. Data Transformation covers but is not limited to Data Curation, Data Assimilation, Data Interpretation, Data Visualisation, Data Fusion, and Data Modelling & Simulation techniques. NERC recognise that whilst there is a wealth of data available, it often needs to be transformed to be of value to end-users.
Registrations are now open and the full agenda will be announced shortly.
Please note there is limit to the number of attendees, so we urge companies to register early.
