I know, it's cliched and painfully overused, but stay with me here. In the world of working with scientific data, and processing data using a computer and a programming environment, this--cliched or not--is the situation many young scientists find themselves in. In coming up through academia on a scientific path (rather than engineering or computer science route), we find ourselves frequently working with data and programming languages without having had the fundamental training in software...

I direct my small undergraduate team to measure greenhouse gas emissions in the field while keeping an eye on the operations laptop, watching the flight progress. This careful combination of in-situ field emissions measurements and high-resolution remotely sensed imagery has exciting implications for...
