The tutorial discusses the essential provenance-based data curation tools and techniques for the earth and biodiversity sciences.
We will introduce the fundamental concepts, problems addressed, existing solutions, and open issues about provenance and data curation techniques. The tutorial will discuss through representative use cases about earth and biodiversity sciences how provenance and curation can improve the quality of results.

The tutorial is for undergraduate and graduate students and practitioners interested in applied Data Science and Data Curation. The tutorial content is self-contained; however, people with basic knowledge of data models, data management, and statistics can further appreciate the content.
