The Fellow will gather and analyze data and document processes and results from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, data repositories, and Modis satellite data. Research activities may include web scraping, collaboration with external scientists, and investigation and synthesis of environmental data. Fellows will assist in developing tools and resources that utilize these data, including data visualizations, data quality analysis, automated metadata creation, data semantics or data training. For a list of example activities demonstrating the breadth and scope of work undertaken by Data Fellows please visit: https://www.nceas.ucsb.edu/fellowships/data-science-fellowship-recruitment. Development of tools and resources involves working in concert with data and computer scientists to devise and test user interfaces for the environmental science community.
