Join us on March 3 for the first talk in the Yale Day of Data Spring Discussion Series: “Processing Geographic BigData at the Yale Center for Research Computing.”
Our speaker is Giuseppe Amatulli PhD, Spatial Analyst in Spatial Biodiversity Science and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at Yale. Dr. Amatulli is a forest scientist and spatial modeler with expertise in computer science. His research activity is mainly dedicated to spatial modeling with special emphasis in species distribution model, areal distribution and potential shift under climate change condition, wildland fire occurrence and pattern recognition, and wildfire risk assessment based on human and bio-physical parameters. He deals daily with high resolution data in the context of complex and modern modeling techniques using stand-alone implementation process under a Linux environment. He uses open source programming language and software (GRASS, R, PYTHON, GNUPLOT, AWK, BASH, QGIS, OPENEV, CDO) to accomplish large data processing, always keeping in mind the ecological aspect of the research. He supports the use of open source for ecological modeling, giving dedicated courses using (and maintaining) the www.spatial-ecology.net web page.
Yale University Library has partnered with the Yale Center for Research Computing and the Yale Institution for Social and Policy Studies to present the Yale Day of Data Spring Discussion Series for 2016. These events bring together researchers from across the Yale community for an in-depth discussion on how they collect, manage, analyze, and share data from projects in political science, medicine, cultural heritage, and more.
