“Skills Workshop: Extraction, Visualisation and Analysis of Aquatic Insect Data” – 2 hours – Wednesday 15:00 – 17:00
There is an abundance of data available via open access databases, biological record data and data collected by regulators on aquatic insects. We will extract some data, organise it, visualise it and then analyse it. Covering some basic skill such as time analysis, spatial analysis and touching upon some more complex methods such as adding other data sets to aquatic insect data. This workshop is aimed at those who want to understand their aquatic insect data better or for students and other who want to access data from the internet for project ideas and academia. No advanced skills required, access to either Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets required.
