2nd International Workshop on the Social Web for Environmental and Ecological Monitoring (SWEEM 2017)

The exponential growth of the popularity of social media has generated unprecedented volumes of publicly-available, user-generated social media content. This opens new opportunities for ecological and environmental applications, both in terms of alternative data sources and novel approaches for interacting with the public. The goal of the workshop is to bring together a combination of academic and industrial participants to discuss ideas, challenges, and solutions at the intersection of Social Media and Environmental/Ecological Science. The workshop is held in conjunction with the 9th International ACM Web Science Conference.
