Environmental Information Management Institute

Scientists, engineers, and data librarians are working in an increasingly data-intensive research environment. The Environmental Information Management Institute (EIMI) provides graduate students and professionals with the conceptual and practical hands-on training to effectively design, manage, analyze, visualize, and preserve data and information. Participants completing the three-week Institute will gain invaluable experience with all aspects of the data lifecycle: from managing data files and creating databases and web portals, through state-of-the-art analysis and visualization techniques, as well as managing, analyzing, and visualizing geospatial data.
