The Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) is a NASA Terrestrial Ecology Program.

The ORNL DAAC, in collaboration with the NASA Earthdata Webinar series, is hosting a data management best practices webinar specifically for ABoVE researchers and you are invited.

When: Monday 29 August 2016, 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Time Zone: Eastern Daylight Savings Time (UTC/GMT-4)

The purpose of this Webinar is to provide guidance on fundamental data management practices that ABoVE investigators should perform during the course of data collection to improve the usability of their data sets. The topics covered will include how to structure your data files, define variables and units, perform quality control, and develop data documentation so that others can find, understand, and use your data. We will also provide information on submitting data to the ORNL DAAC. By following the practices taught in this workshop, your data will be less prone to error, more efficiently structured for your own analysis, and more readily understandable for any future questions that they might help address.

Many of the data products developed through ABoVE will be archived at the ORNL DAAC, so join us to learn about how to create data with the intention of archiving it for future use.
