Workshop: Unlocking the treasures of PANGAEA

Unlocking the Treasures of PANGAEA – Data Discovery and Retrieval Tools for Python

Thursday 13 October 2022

Workshop Chairs: Malik Naumann, Daniel Damaske; PANGAEA, MARUM – Center for Marine Environmental Sciences, University of Bremen, Germany

This two-hour workshop involves user-oriented theoretical and practical exercises on modern research data management services provided by the World Data Center PANGAEA. The workshop focus on discovery and reuse of datasets already published on PANGAEA. Dedicated web-based PANGAEA data queries and a scripting package for Python (i.e. pangaeapy) are introduced and applied for these purposes. The topics covered provide sufficient scope to provide participants with a fundamental understanding of how to retrieve hand-curated scientific data from the PANGAEA data repository for analysis and reuse in related future research.
