Summer Webinar Series: The Makings of an Environmental Data Analysis

In ‘the makings of an environmental data analysis’, we’ll deconstruct a complete analysis of data, from the scientific question that sparks an idea, to the completion of the analysis and discuss how we can use it to make positive change. We will learn to embrace and be open about the subjectivity and biases that are found in all data sets. An environmental data analysis is more than the statistics and mathematics behind it — it’s an opportunity to tell an environmental data story.
