Workshops & Talks
Throughout the year, I attend geospatial conferences where I run workshops on geospatial data analysis or give presentations on open meteorological and climate data and my PhD research. You find a selection of the most recent workshops / conference talks below.
2021
Workshops
- The ozone hole tour - EUMETSAT Short Course Series - 18+22 February 2021
Practical introduction to work with the ozone datasets from the GOME-2 and IASI instruments aboard Metop-A/B/C. The course analyses the ozone hole in 2020 for the Arctic and Antarctic.
Conference talks

2020
Podcast
I recently sat down with Daniel O’Donohue from The MapScaping Podcast and talked all things Project Jupyter: what it is, why it is great and how it can boost the reproducibility of your research.
