Team Onboarding Presentation

equity-driven data science for climate-resilient green infrastructure

🪞 slide 1 — Welcome & Intentions

• introduce yourself + the project origin

• explain what drew you to tree equity

• share the vision:

  we’re building a modular, reproducible, and community-rooted data science toolkit to support research and action on green infrastructure equity.

🌱 “this is a team space — not just a project.”

🌍 slide 2 — Why Tree Equity?

• link canopy cover to:
  • heat risk
  • air quality
  • economic justice
  • displacement
• pose a few “big questions” the team might explore:
  • Who has access to shade and why?
  • What neighborhoods have been historically disinvested?
  • How can data support frontline decision-makers?

📦 slide 3 — Project Structure: The Data Mart

• explain: “we're building a shared data backbone that everyone can plug into.”
• describe:
  • data_raw/: original sources
  • data_clean/: harmonized, wrangled sets
  • scripts/modules/: where everyone’s projects live
• mention renv for reproducibility
• note: “we’ll keep raw data out of GitHub to protect space + privacy.”
