CyberTraining—Broadening Adoption of Cyberinfrastructure in Disaster Management

Sunday, July 14, 8:00 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. MDT
Location: Fir

Please consider joining this add-on training session organized to coincide with the annual Natural Hazards Workshop. This training is offered as part of a National Science Foundation-funded International CyberTraining for Disaster Management Network. This project is designed to support those students and professionals who wish to broaden their computational knowledge and data skills. Participants in this training session will gain cyberinfrastructure and geospatial analytic capabilities for observing and monitoring disaster events.

The training is limited to 35 participants. Please apply using this form. RSVPs will be accepted through May 15, 2024, or until all spots are filled. Because this is an add-on session, registration for the Natural Hazards Workshop is not required if you are only attending this session. There is no additional cost associated with this add-on training.

Training Modules

The expert-led training modules will focus on:

  • Fundamental concepts and skills of Cyberinfrastructure (CI) and High-Performance Computing systems (e.g., National Science Foundation ACCESS) to enhance CI use in disaster management research
  • Scientific programming in Python using Jupyter Lab
  • Disaster data types and processing techniques
  • Essential concepts of Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) and how to apply spatial analysis and GeoAI to disaster management

Basic understanding of software programming is preferred but not required.

Travel Grants

Travel grants are available to participants affiliated with U.S. institutions and research entities. If you would like to apply for a travel grant, please fill out this form by May 15, 2024.

Agenda

Please check back for the final training session agenda. Coffee and lunch will be provided.
