Environmental data science: Opportunities for teaching, research, and service

Abstract

Data science, a burgeoning field arising from the disciplines of math and computer science, has great potential in environmental engineering and science. Data science methods offer opportunities to streamline and improve data acquisition, processing, modeling, and visualization. Increased environmental monitoring has resulted in extensive data sets that are publicly available and have the potential to improve our understanding of environmental health. Integration of data science into environmental engineering and science education is important for building proficiency
