Data management mandates from federal funding agencies, professional societies, and publishers are becoming more common at all scales of research effort. To help researchers navigate the new requirements and implement effective, low-overhead data management workflows, Unidata is hosting an AMS Short Course on Data Management Planning and Implementation: Training on available open-source tools and services from the community and Unidata. The short course will be held the afternoon of Sunday, 10 January 2016, preceding the 96th AMS Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The short course will provide information on the current mandates, present a researcher-focused approach to data management, and introduce freely available services and tools that can be combined to manage and share research data. The course is intended for practicing researchers who are interested in both meeting the current requirements and implementing “best practice” data management processes in their research effort. The course builds on and extends information available in Unidata's Data Management Resource Center.

The American Meteorological Society's Board on Environmental Information Processing Technologies (EIPT) has extended the submission deadline for EIPT papers and posters until 17 August 2015.

An AMS Short Course on Open Source Radar Software will be held on the 13th of September 2015 in Norman, Oklahoma preceding the 37th Conference on Radar Meteorology. Preliminary programs, registration, hotel, and general information on the conference are available on the AMS conference web site.

Update: The deadline for submissions has been extended to 10 August 2015.

The American Meteorological Society's Board on Environmental Information Processing Technologies (EIPT) wants to remind you that the submission deadline for EIPT papers and posters is 3 August 2015. From the AMS announcement:

The 32nd Conference on Environmental Information Processing Technologies (EIPT) is soliciting papers and posters that demonstrate successes and advances in interactive computing tools; technologies and observing systems; data management and communication related to advances in observations, modeling, new technologies and media; cyberinfrastructure; and applications that address the ability to provide information to a wide audience at any time, for any purpose.
