The Essential skills to minimize Moving large data By Accessing and Reusing data with software worKflows (EMBARK) Cybertraining program is a FREE, synchronous, virtual course designed for U.S.-based graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and other early-career ocean professionals (ECOPs) who want to build skills and confidence in finding, accessing, and reusing data across ocean observing systems and data repositories.
Participants will gain hands-on experience working with ocean data and cyberinfrastructure (CI) tools, including approaches for accessing data efficiently, integrating data from multiple sources, and developing reproducible workflows. The program is designed for researchers with some experience using a scripted programming language such as Python or R who are relatively new to advanced cyberinfrastructure.
The EMBARK course will meet twice per week beginning on January 12, 2027, for a total of six synchronous online sessions. Each week, sessions will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays 11AM-1PM PST / 2PM-4PM EST. Because the course emphasizes hands-on activities and small-group learning with mentors, enrollment is limited to 30 participants.
Complete this short application by December 5 to be considered for the January 2027 cohort.
