FAQ
What’s CoPe COMET?
- A Science Sprint to do rapid, data-driven Coastlines and People (CoPe) science. A cohort of of researchers will assemble to transform ideas into open scientific products within 72 hrs.
- A Science Sprint to do rapid, data-driven Coastlines and People (CoPe) science. A cohort of of researchers will assemble to transform ideas into open scientific products within 72 hrs.
What are the goals?
- Developing collaborative networks of researchers working at the intersection of Coastlines and People
- Creating open science and open knowledge from openly available datasets, processed quickly using open code with open deliverables for researchers and stakeholders along the coast
- Testing sprint events as a means to produce data-driven CoPe research.
- Crowd-sourcing a collection of publicly available data for future use by CoPe researchers and stakeholders
Do I need to use Machine Learning for my proposed project?
- No. Participants don’t need to use ML for their project. We do want people to focus on using open data to do data-driven science.
