Exploring eDNA data
Webinar 4: Exploring eDNA data
We explored the latest updates and developments in eDNA and GBIF's new data model. The agenda included expert speakers sharing their insights and experiences with eDNA data publishing and a discussion and community engagement session where we explored how eDNA data publishing could look in the future.
Mélianie Raymond, community and capacity manager at the GBIF Secretariat, moderated the session as attendees learned about the current practice for publishing eDNA data and participated in discussions on ideas for future publishing tools and processes.
