Recorded VCO
Abstract
In this VCO, we share curriculum materials for the first release of the Convergence Curriculum for Geospatial Data Science. This curriculum is an integrative framework for students, scholars, and professionals to gain the necessary knowledge, skills, and competencies for solving cross-disciplinary problems without requiring a series of 15-week courses. We answer questions about how to access the materials, where you might use the materials, and when to expect updates.
