An ecologist’s data pipeline toolkit

Develop a biodiversity data pipeline that is locally relevant and globally integrative. The pipeline aims to improve the management, presentation, discovery, exploration, integration, and analysis of biodiversity data. We aim to develop reproducible workflows that ecologists (non-data or computer scientists) can to use as a toolkit for local biodiversity data pipeline design and implementation. The programme will also focus on identifying challenges facing biodiversity informatics in South Africa, with an emphasis on developing solutions for national biodiversity monitoring bodies and protected area managers, like those in SANParks.
