Environmental Data Science

Welcome!

This repository gathers information about Environmental Data Science, such as events, groups, books, papers, journals, courses, etc.

The idea is to have a place to find information about environmental data science and share it with others.

Feel free to contribute by suggesting contents (e.g., open an issue) or by making a pull request to add new content in this file.

This repository was created by Beatriz Milz in March 2021.
