About the Data Help Desk

For the second year ecological data repositories and data specialists will collaborate at the Ecological Society of America's annual meeting to add a Data Help Desk (DHD) to the Poster/Exhibition Hall. The Environmental Data Initiative (EDI), iDigBio, Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP), DataONE, GBIF, NEON and Arctic Data Center will each engage participants one-on-one about their questions, comments and concerns about using these data in their discipline and area of research. The conference is in Louisville, Kentucky from August 11 - 16, 2019.

Other people and groups joining us in this effort to help ecologists address any data puzzlements include: Laura Brenskelle from UF in Rob Guralnick's Lab, Kelsey Yule and Nico Franz from the Biorepository Data Portal, Christina Alba from Denver Botanic Gardens, and Rebekah Wallace from EDDMaps.

In addition to a collaborative outreach booth, the DHD members join the ESA 2019 career fair called Career Central presenting on topics to help ESA foster the professional development of its members. The schedule below summarizes these career fair contributions. After this conference, all the materials developed for this event can be found linked on this page.

Some members also participated in a Special Session: Biodiversity Data Dialogues, convened by GBIF, iDigBio, and NEON.
