Abstract:

Data science is receiving a lot of attention recently, and it goes beyond search engines and online retailers. Data science is influencing fundamental research in many areas of academia and industry, including areas that might be of interest to ENVR members. Climate science is being driven by big data and distributed computing. Digital agriculture is using data science, along with the ever increasing amount of data from some highly diverse sources, to redefine how farmers make decisions. In this roundtable, we will discuss such topics as 1) the role of statistics in data science and 2) how big data and data science are influencing research in academia and industry, especially those that involve the environment.
