Description
The RIEEE EnviroData Collaborative (EDC) is designed to meet a growing need at Appalachian State University: building environmental data science and modeling capacity through hands-on skill building, shared learning, and collaborative exchange. As the pace of innovation in areas like machine learning, remote sensing, and cloud computing accelerates, researchers across disciplines are seeking opportunities to update and expand their technical skill sets to continue learning beyond graduate training.
Through periodic, skill-focused workshops led by both campus experts and invited facilitators, this program will create space for faculty and research staff to gain practical experience with new tools, exchange knowledge, and grow their capacity to conduct cutting-edge, data-intensive research. Beyond individual skills, the EDC will foster a culture of collaboration and interdisciplinary connection. Our goal is to cultivate a vibrant, exchange-driven community that enhances the visibility of environmental data science at Appalachian and increases the impact of faculty research.
Objectives
- Create space for faculty and research staff—regardless of discipline or career stage—to gain practical experience with new tools, exchange knowledge, and grow their capacity to conduct cutting-edge, data-intensive research
- Offer structured time, community support, and accountability to help participants finally engage with that tool or technique they've been meaning to learn “when they have time”
- Cultivate a vibrant, interdisciplinary community of Appalachian State faculty and research staff advancing environmental data science and modeling capacity
