Meeting on the 11th April

For our meeting this week we have the extremely boring Rob Johnson (aka, Me). I am going to attempt to answer the five biggest questions you have about ocean remote sensing.

A big part of DaSH is lowering the learning curve and removing the barriers to entry into data related science. That is what my talk will aim to do for the ocean remote sensing space. I will NOT talk about coding. I WILL talk a little about how satellites measure biology in the oceans, I WILL talk about where you can find this data, and I WILL talk about how a novice can plot the data without coding a single line.

For our meeting this week we have the brilliant Mike Sumner from the Australian Antarctic Division talking about his sexy new R tools to access multi-dimensional grid data (e.g. satellite data like SST, Chl-a, sea ice concentration, etc.). He will also talk about the importance of map projections and some adventures in working around incomplete or inconsistent metadata, as well as the existing R tools for working with raster and vector data, and building extensible tools from these for extracting data.
