[DMANET] Next Talk - TIES Webinar Series on Data Science for Environmental Sciences (DSES)

The International Environmetrics Society (TIES) has launched a new *TIES
Webinar Series on Data Science for Environmental Sciences (DSES)*.

Our next webinar will be on *November 11*, at *11 am Central Time*
(attached flyer).
You can virtually access the webinar and register via our website:
www.environmetrics.xyz

*Speaker*: *Natasha Stavros*, Earth Lab, Cooperative Institute for Research
in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), University of Colorado Boulder.

*Title*: *Resilience Technology: Value-Added Analytics for the Wicked
Wildfire Problem *

*Abstract*: We are experiencing catastrophic global environmental change:
global warming, population growth, and the sixth mass extinction. There is
a pressing need to understand why our world is changing and predict changes
to adapt. Despite progress made through emerging data analytics (e.g.,
machine learning) for data integrations, pattern recognition and causal
inference, there remains a need to transition between information of value
to knowledge and informed actions. Using the WKID Innovation framework that
combines the knowledge hierarchy, design thinking, project management, and
system engineering, we can make the connections between research and
decision support tools. WKID Innovation provides a basis for emulating
intelligence and informing development of analytic algorithms that support
artificial intelligence for every day decision making. In this talk, Dr.
Stavros will talk about WKID Innovation and how it has been used to address
the wicked wildfire problem by engaging academia, industry (non-profit and
for profit), and government agencies.

Hope to see you all there!
