About
Reproducibility, Big Data, and Data Sharing in Geomorphology is a two day online workshop which aims to establish a community of practice around reproducible computational research in geomorphology. This workshop will bring together geomorphologists from a diverse range of career stages and backgrounds to explore key themes around the reproducibility of our discipline.
Keynote presentations and discussions will be gathered around four key themes:
- Big data in geomorphology
- Data sharing/environmental costs of computational research
- Best practices in topographic analysis
- Making numerical modelling reproducible
Following the discussions and presentations, all attendees will be invited to co-author a paper drawing together the ideas and perspectives shared during the discussion sessions.
