Today, rich Citizen Science data are being used to monitor the health of our waters and ecosystems, collecting data where scientists are not able to go. Beyond biology, data such as geophysical data and socioeconomic data, are just some examples of sources for research data that can be coupled with biological data in order to investigate novel ecological questions.<\/p>\n<p>During this workshop, participants will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Enhance your knowledge of Big Data, data management and explore a variety of datasets.<\/li>\n<li>Develop skills to harness the Power of the Data Revolution for interdisciplinary research<\/li>\n<li>Expand your network with data scientists and peers who share your interests\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Engage in focused conversations with a community of diverse scientists and ESA leaders<\/li>\n<li>Learn about leadership opportunities and resources to build diversity, inclusion and justice in ESA and environmental organizations.<\/li>\n<li>Join a Power of Data community Slack group within the <a href=\"https:\/\/join.slack.com\/t\/edsin\/shared_invite\/zt-eydmla6q-gWJaIRZaOjMLjsGxGX32bQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Environmental Data Science Inclusion Network channel<\/a> to continue conversations.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\"><b>Planning Team<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PI, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/catherine-o-riordan-38211011\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Catherine O\u2019Riordan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Executive Director, ESA<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Co-PI <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/teresamourad\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teresa Mourad<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Director of Education &amp;
