Several key themes have emerged that begin to define a path towards functional infrastructure. A central theme is the broad and careful use of persistent identifiers (PIDs) for data, documents, data types, instruments, people, etc., so that computers can unambiguously identify and locate key resources and their descriptions. One particular use of identifiers is in data citation and referencing. Pulling from examples within the research data management community, this webinar will discuss data citation infrastructures, solutions, and challenges.
The Data Observation Network for Earth (DataONE) is an NSF-supported DataNet project which is developing a distributed framework and sustainable cyberinfrastructure that meets the needs of science and society for open, persistent, robust, and secure access to well-described and easily discovered Earth observational data. Now in its seventh year of funding, DataONE has released a number of tools, services and programs that support users in their data management, discovery, preservation and education needs.

Since 1998, Software Carpentry has evolved from a week-long training course at the US national laboratories into a worldwide volunteer effort to improve researchers' computing skills. In this webinar, Software Carpentry's co-founder will explore what's been learned along the away about what scientists, engineers, and other researchers actually need to know about programming in order to make their work more shareable, more reproducible, more likely to be correct, and more efficient.
The New Mexico Water Resources Research Institute (NM WRRI) will host a three-day conference in May 2016 to facilitate the exchange of data and ideas among four states, three Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regions, two Tribes, and numerous local and municipal agencies and public water systems. The conference will bring together an estimated 200 participants to gain a better understanding of the theme of the conference, Environmental Conditions of the Animas and San Juan Watersheds with Emphasis on Gold King Mine and other Mine Waste Issues.
The Water Resources Research Institute is holding a conference, "Environmental Conditions of the Animas and San Juan Watersheds with Emphasis on Gold King Mine and Other Mine Waste Issues," to facilitate the exchange of data and ideas around the Animas River spill. The WRRI is calling for abstracts in fields relating to geology, hydrology, mining, mitigation of contamination, transport of contaminants, and more. For more information on the conference, including registration and location, visit the conference website: http://animas.wrri.nmsu.edu/.

Drawing from examples within the taxonomic and natural history collection communities, this webinar will detail the data types and challenges of biological specimen data. We’ll explore the value and import of data quality open resources, the current status of data assurance practices as well as some more practical 'how-to’ examples of implementing data quality assurance (QA) methods. For example, QA of publicly shared data is critical for effective use and reuse. As part of the data life cycle, QA often occurs following the collection of data.

Historically, energy policy has been developed without considering the impact on water and climate policy may not consider the impact on energy. Solutions to these complex problems requires policy that considers tradeoffs between systems and is acceptable to society. EPSCoR Social and Natural Science Nexus component co-lead Dr. Janie Chermak will discuss her research on some of the interactions between systems and the impact of people’s taste and preferences with a focus on NM’s energy and water sectors, and how the state’s attitudes about energy development may impact policy.
