Earth and environmental data have been collected at unprecedented levels in recent years, driven by the expansion of computing, internet connectivity, and satellite technology. Within the earth and environmental science communities, professionals with both a background in disciplinary science and fundamental skills in technical data analytics are needed to help process and analyze this growing wealth of data. At Earth Lab and the Environmental Data Science Innovation Inclusion Lab (ESIIL), we aim to address this need by teaching essential environmental data science (EDS) skills to diverse groups of students in our programs: Earth Lab’s Earth Data Analytics (EDA) Professional Graduate Certificate program and the ESIIL Stars summer internship program. The EDA Program is a three-course, online certificate offered through the University of Colorado Boulder. It provides students with essential skills required for a career in computationally intensive earth sciences and is available for all working professionals. The ESIIL Stars program aims to build capacity with diverse students and faculty at minority-serving institutions to teach and learn technical data science skills, where students design their own culturally relevant research projects. Through these programs, we teach learners how to access and analyze open data products and emphasize the use of open educational resources in our lessons. Curricular materials are hosted on our online textbook, earthdatascience.org, which sees millions of users globally. The Education Team is currently developing a new ESIIL Learning Portal that will be modeled after the textbook. The EDA and ESIIL Stars programs, as well as our online resources are great examples of education that meets the need for data-intensive training in earth and environmental sciences.
