LaTeX is a typesetting system for producing technical documents and is an important document standard in a number of disciplines. LaTeX gives authors more flexibility and control than other word processing software, but is less intuitive for first time users. This workshop will cover basic use of LaTeX editors, as well as an introduction to the markup language of LaTeX. Participants will gain a basic understanding of how to use LaTeX to create documents, how to write and format text, and how to format non-standard typesettings such as expressions, equations, and non-Latin scripts. We will use the free Overleaf LaTeX text editor, which does not require installing any software ahead of time. 

Remote sensing is the process of acquiring the physical characteristics of an object, area or a phenomenon without physical contact. This process is used generally to assess the changes on Earth and other planets. Increase in anthropogenic interactions with Earth’s land and other natural resources makes remote sensing methods important in the fields of Earth, agricultural and environmental sciences. This workshop aims to provide a brief introduction on remote sensing using satellites, followed by a hands-on session that involves using satellite imagery to assess the changes in agricultural land use.

A research project is reproducible if the researcher provides a set of files and instructions to enable a second researcher (including you, the researcher) to recreate the final reported results. Over approximately the last decade, research funders and, increasingly, scholarly publishers have been implementing policies and supporting technologies to facilitate reproducibility. This workshop will define reproducibility, provide a history and overview of publishers' and funders' policies and practices aiming to encourage data and code sharing, discuss some obstacles and challenges, and describe innovations in workflows and collaborations between researchers, funders, and publishers driving reproducibility forward.
