Bay Area Open Science Group - Open Science, Data, and Software in the Natural Capital Project
This month we will be joined by Emily Pavia, Dave Fisher, and James Douglass, members of Stanford's Natural Capital Project (NatCap), a Stanford-based partnership among interdisciplinary researchers, professionals, and leaders around the world that supports nature-informed decision-making about policies and investments. Representing NatCap's software & data management teams, Emily, James and Dave will discuss NatCap's open source software including a suite of computational models for quantifying ecosystem services (InVEST), supporting Python libraries for geoprocessing (PyGeoprocessing) and for generating human- and machine-readable metadata (GeoMetaMaker) and the recently-launched Natural Capital Project Data Hub that facilitates open access to ecosystem services data. Together, these and other efforts by the Natural Capital Project enhance the ability of researchers and policymakers to easily access and reuse data that supports informed decision-making about natural resources.
UCSF welcomes all participants to our events. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in this event because of a disability, please contact Ariel Deardorff at ariel.deardorff@ucsf.edu as soon as possible.
