Hello Everyone!

I am writing to see if anyone is interested in having an interactive web-app built to help visualize or analyze their data. If you think you might be interested please read on! It is pretty low-commitment from your end: you just provide us the data and meet with students a few times during the semester to help direct the effort and answer questions.

Each year, the Environmental Informatics capstone class at Virginia Tech tackles data visualization/analysis projects over the course of the spring semester. Students work with scientists to develop applications that allow the scientists or the public to more easily visualize, interact with, or develop models using their data. 

We are looking for projects for spring 2022! If you have a dataset that you would like to make more accessible to others, for teaching, or even just for your group, or have a related idea, please send me an e-mail at jpgannon@vt.edu! 

You can read more about the 2021 and 2020 projects here. Example apps from past semesters include using multiple analysis and vizualization strategies to develop data exploration apps for MELNHE nutrient data and water level data from wells in watershed 3.  We hope to continue to work on Hubbard Brook datasets in the coming years with the goal of developing a suite of applications to visualize and analyze a variety of types of data for use by scientists, the public, and in educational settings.

Sincerely, 

JP
