Event Description
- Full Description:
- Professor Scott Chapman will present a QAAFI Science Seminar titled 'Adventures in engaging data science to address agricultural challenges'.
Abstract
The University of Queensland (UQ) has a meritorious history in leading research in remote sensing, cropping system modelling and phenotyping and genetic prediction with applications in plant and animal systems. Projects are typically led by ag experts, with statistics/data sciences being bought or brought in. In recent years, Ag/data startups have been super-charged by capital, applying all manner of methods in impressive but sometimes dubious ways. Regardless, our ag graduates need more exposure to data sciences and which are useful/applicable in their future employment. Here I attempt to summarise UQ current research and future opportunities to deploy data science in agriculture research.
