The Constructing a Digital Environment programme runs an active webinar activity. Held every three weeks, these aim to develop the digitally enabled environment to benefit scientists, policymakers, businesses, communities and individuals. We arrange our webinars in ‘series’, drawing together presentations following similar themes. Our current webinar series are listed here. Videos of all our previous webinars run are listed below and are also available on our YouTube Channel. To date we have had, or are planning, the following series, click on the links to see the talks below:
The CDE webinars showcase the latest thinking and expertise in digital technology and methodologies applied to the environment, illustrating the ‘arc’ from data gathering, its management and curation, analysis and presentation to decision makers, covering topics such as distributed networks of sensors, new sensor technology, novel forms of data informatics (e.g. data lakes, data cubes), data analytics, uncertainty, data labs, apps, skins and tools to support decision makers across the society.
CDE Demonstrator Projects Series
Our sixth webinar series, led by Digital Champion Prof. Stephen Hallett, focusses in turn on each of the seven Demonstrator projects supported through the CDE Programme, and provides the research teams involved the opportunity to talk about their work and findings as well as learning points.

Data digitisation, rescue, and re-purposing Series
Our fifth webinar series, led by Expert Network member Dr Adrian Hines, focusses on efforts to augment the range of data that are available for use in environmental research by harness existing sources of data sources in various forms in innovative ways. This includes:
Digitisation of data holdings to enable their use in digital environmental research
Data rescue efforts to increase the volume of historical data that are available for use in environmental research
Data repurposing to enable use of data for new purposes beyond their original application
Each of these efforts is enabling new value to be delivered from existing sources of data. The webinar series will cover activities spanning each of these areas.

Data management and analytical tools for environmental science series
Our fourth webinar series, led by the NERC Environmental Data Service (NERC EDS) focusses on research data management and the analytical tools available to support researchers in the environmental sciences. The EDS provides a focal point for NERC’s scientific data and information. It consists of a network of five data centres which curate data from environmental scientists working in the UK and around the world. This series showcases the services provided by the EDS and illustrates how it supports the open data agenda. We will hear how tools developed by the EDS enable interoperability, support large-scale data analysis and facilitate multi- and trans-disciplinary research.

Our third webinar series, led by Expert Network member Dr Liz Bagshaw, focusses on ‘Sensing the Environment’. Reflecting the wide availability of ubiquitous, low-cost sensors and microprocessor controllers, there are now more opportunities than ever to plan and undertake environmental sensing research projects. But what should you measure, and how often should you take readings? How close together or distant should the sensors be placed? How can you ‘densify’ observations in response to incidents? Should you process data into information at the ‘edge’ of the network, or bring all data into a central hub? How can information reach decision makers in the most appropriate time and format? These are the kind of issues we will seek to address in our third webinar series, hearing from leading experts in environmental sensing.

Webinar Series Listing
We most often collect the wrong data – most resources are spent on measurements that have no value for the decisions they are meant to support
We often need less data than we think we need – we only to reduce uncertainties enough to make a clear decision
Everything can be quantified and applied to improving decisions, however seemingly intangible.
The flaw of averages – why we are nearly always behind schedule and over budget, and why relying only on averages is so dangerous and yet the norm
Why Big Data and AI are heading for disaster. Expert knowledge is critical but often over-looked and under-utilised.
It is a fallacy that conveying uncertainty and its implications for a decision is too complicated for a general audience.
Open, collaborative and integrative environmental science
