SUMMARY:Mapping tools for COVID-19 data – II
DESCRIPTION:This is the second workshop in this series and will build on the material and the techniques covered in the first workshop. We will use COVID-19 data available here https://github.com/nytimes/covid-19-data\, combine it with other data such as from Census and will learn about creating maps\, including web maps\, that involve more than one variable. \n\nWe will use R and QGIS. You should know the basics of vector data GIS and introductory techniques of classification and clustering\, be a regular R user\, and should have some familiarity with QGIS.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Python's NumPy library
DESCRIPTION:A BlueJeans link will be sent to all registered participants.\n\nThis workshop will introduce you to the NumPy library in Python\, which is useful in scientific computing. We will cover NumPy’s n-dimensional array object and associated functions in depth\, along with related linear algebra and random number capabilities. Some familiarity with Python is expected. \nThe workshop will be done online via BlueJeans. We will run the code using Google Colab\, which requires a Google account.

SUMMARY:Efficient Data Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Tired of using `table` and `summary`?  Or repeatedly using a `group_by %>% summarise` approach?  Many are still using R inefficiently to summarize data\, especially for presentation. However\, data needs to be explored before modeling can take place\, both to familiarize oneself with the strengths and limitations of the data\, as well as to diagnose errors or spot potential problems that might arise.  So how can we do this sort of thing better?\n\nThis workshop will demonstrate the capabilities of several packages that might be of interest to those seeking a more automatic way to summarize their data before analysis\, or simply to share with others.

SUMMARY:Wear OS: Creating A Watchface For Your Android Smartwatch
DESCRIPTION:A BlueJeans link will be sent to all registered participants. \nSmartwatches are multi-functional devices that can be worn on the wrist. They can read your heartbeat\, notify you of messages from your phone\, and can even tell the time! Google’s “Wear OS” is a branch of the Android mobile operating system\, and it encourages open app development. \nThis is the first of two workshops to introduce programming for a Wear OS watch. This will introduce some of the functions of a smartwatch\, through the programming and design of a new watchface. Participants will learn how to design a custom watchface using Java and Android Studio\, with a step-by-step example.

SUMMARY:Virtual Workshop on Redundancy in Bridges for Risk Mitigation in a Multi-Hazard Environment
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will be held over two days (July 21 & July 28). A link will be sent to all registered participants\, registration is required. \nRecent collapse of several bridges\, such as the I-35 truss bridge in Minneapolis in 2007\, Ponte Morandi cable stayed bridge in Genoa\, Italy\, in 2018\, Florida International University Pedestrian Bridge in 2018 and Nanfang’ao steel single-arch bridge in Taiwan in 2019\, have highlighted the importance of the role of redundancy in the safety of bridges. \nThe purpose of this virtual workshop is to identify needs and gaps in the current state-of-the-art / practice on different aspects of redundancy\, which is defined as “the quality of a bridge that enables it to perform its design function in the damaged state”. The commentary of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specification (C.1.3.2.1) notes that the current approach of incorporating redundancy in bridge design is “arbitrary” and “subjective”.  The use of redundancy as a means for hazard mitigation in the event of loss of a critical member has also not been explored in the current framework.  Current simulation technology has advanced to the point where it can be used for assessing the effect of member criticality on the overall system collapse response.  This approach is more rational and objective for assessing redundancy in critical and important bridges\, but particularly for long-span bridges which are critical assets. There is therefore an urgent need for an open forum discussion through a workshop for assessing the current framework on redundancy and identifying the gaps and challenges\, and future research priorities. \nCheck out breakout session 3: “Current simulation technology during the design process” led by Dr. Mohammed Ettouney

SUMMARY:Geostatistics – II
DESCRIPTION:In many situations\, we observe a process over a limited number of locations and are interested in estimating its values at nearby unsampled locations. Geostatistical methods provide a powerful tool to do this. In this session\, we will build upon the material and intuitions covered in the first workshop. We will focus on the principles\, application\, and interpretation of results using R\, and will cover topics such as variogram modeling\, empirical variogram\, estimation techniques\, and prediction uncertainty. \n\nYou should be familiar with R and the basic concepts of GIS data\, should have taken an introductory course in statistics\, and know the basics of linear algebra.
