Designed for researchers, students, and professionals in marine and environmental sciences, this workshop builds strong foundations in Python programming and data analysis using oceanographic datasets. Participants will learn how to collect, prepare, analyze, and visualize data with modern Python tools.

Dates: June 25, 26 & 29, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM–5:00 PM
Location: Fisheries and Marine Institute, 155 Ridge Road, St. John’s, NL

Workshop Description

Over three days, participants will progress from Python fundamentals to data cleaning, preparation, exploration, and visualization techniques using real-world oceanographic datasets. A certificate of achievement will be offered to participants who attend the full workshop and complete the workshop activities.

Day 1: Python Fundamentals and Data Handling

Participants will learn the foundations of Python programming, including variables, data types, lists, tuples, and dictionaries. The day will also introduce control structures such as loops and conditionals, as well as functions and libraries. Through hands-on exercises using oceanographic datasets, participants will gain practical experience writing and organizing Python code for data-related tasks.

Day 2: Data Cleaning, Preparation, and Exploration

This day focuses on working with data using Pandas, one of Python’s most widely used data analysis libraries. Participants will learn how to load, explore, manipulate, and save datasets while performing common analytical tasks. The workshop will also cover essential data preparation techniques, including handling missing values, duplicates, outliers, inconsistent data, and reshaping datasets to make them suitable for analysis.

Day 3: Advanced Data Analysis and Hands-On Practice

Participants will learn how to create effective visualizations using Python and explore methods for analyzing and displaying oceanographic data. Topics include creating charts, identifying trends and patterns, and visualizing data on maps. The day concludes with a guided hands-on project where participants apply the skills learned throughout the workshop to clean, analyze, and visualize a real-world oceanographic dataset.

ACENET is a consortium of post-secondary institutions in Atlantic Canada that provides digital research infrastructure access, expertise and support, and skills development. We help researchers to use powerful computers with fast networks, petabytes of storage, and specialized software and methods for data mining, big data processing and analysis, visual analytics, large simulations, machine learning, cloud-based platforms and research portals, and complex modelling and calculations that regular computers simply can’t handle. We also offer research data management tools, and our local team provides specialized expertise in a variety of areas, ongoing support and skills development to researchers and their teams.

Marcel Voia (University of Orléans) will speak on “Robust Duration Inference and Bias in Allocating Critical Hospital Resources.”

This study examines whether bias affects the allocation of scarce hospital resources. It finds that patients’ underlying physiological condition is a main driver of critical care use, and warns that common severity measures may unintentionally perpetuate bias. The results suggest ways to design fairer triage policies.
