The Arctic Data Center announces a call for applications for the Data
Science Training for Arctic Researchers workshop. This workshop will
provide researchers with an overview of best data management practices,
data science tools, and concrete steps and methods for more easily
documenting and uploading data to the Arctic Data Center.

Application deadline: 5:00 p.m. PDT, 19 June 2017.

Workshop topics will include:

  • Arctic Data Center and National Science Foundation standards and
    policies,
  • Data management plans,
  • Effective data management for data preservation,
  • Publishing data at the Arctic Data Center,
  • Data and metadata quality, and
  • Provenance of data and software.

Space for this workshop is limited. Early- and established-career
researchers from the Arctic community are encouraged to apply.
Participants will be selected based on the applicant's current research
or work activities; previous experience with open science practices,
data management techniques, and analysis methods; and current or former
opportunities to access training in these areas.

Participants will receive support to attend the meeting.

Applications should be completed online and the application form
requests information about research background and data science training
and skills.

Applicants should submit a two-page curriculum vitae in PDF format via
email with Arctic Data Training in the email subject line to Amber
Budden at aebudden [at] nceas.ucsb.edu.

  1. Call for Proposals
    Polar High Performance Computing Workshop and Hackathon
    Polar Research Coordination Network
    1-4 August 2017
    Stony Brook, New York

The Polar Research Coordination Network (RCN) announces the 2nd High
Performance Computing (HPC) Polar Workshop and Hackathon. This four-day
polar science-centric training and hackathon will focus on utilizing
high performance and distributed computing.

This workshop and hackathon is open to polar scientists who would like
to increase their computing knowledge and abilities related to a
specific problem during the hackathon or through general training during
the workshop.

Training topics during the morning workshops include, but are not
limited to, the basics of UNIX, version control, introduction to
high-performance parallel and distributed computing (HPDC), selecting a
HPDC approach and platform, and publishing and sharing code.

Organizers are accepting proposals that address science questions, pose
computational challenges that HPDC can address, and for which major
progress is possible within the limited time frame.

The RCN will provide travel, housing, and food for attendees with
accepted proposals.

There is no limit to the number of entries per individual or research
group. Submit only one proposal if multiple team members will be working
on the same project.

Space is limited and preference will be given to teams of two to four
people.

Proposal deadline: 15 June 2017.
