event: Workshop EBRII: Bringing together marine biodiversity, environmental and maritime boundaries data in R

Date: May 30, 2022

Place: VAC Herman Teirlinck Havenlaan 88, Room 01.53 Stijn Streuvels, Brussels - Belgium

Description of the event:

In this LifeWatch VLIZ workshop you will learn different steps in a workflow to query and combine data from European marine databases, visualize and get them ready for further analysis. We will also apply the workflow to your own datasets or research questions. As an example, you will retrieve near real time biodiversity data from the Belgian part of the North Sea (plankton, cetaceans, fish or sea birds. The species names will match to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and the dataset will be complemented with additional data from the European Ocean Biodiversity Information System (EurOBIS) and environmental data from Bio-Oracle. You will know how to apply the same methodology to other species and other Marine Regions, to end up with an analysis-ready dataset that can be visualized and analyzed.

Participants are very welcome to use this workshop to fit their own use case: we will take time to adapt the workflows to your needs, using your data.
The workshop will be conducted in the R programming language

Type: Open
