Introduction to data formatting & standardisation module

Introduction to Module

In this module, we will start working with data, including the importing, standardisation and the linking of tablets using common tidyverse tools. This aims to facilitate the input of data, standardising dates, site information and codes that might be routinely used as part of your coral reef monitoring.

We also touch on details of the GCRMN data tier model to assist in how data are collected and able to be compared across spatial and temporal scales.

Please watch this short introductory presentation for the module prior to moving on to the training materials:
