About this course

Earth and environmental science increasingly depends on scientific programming to explore and analyze large datasets from in situ and autonomous observations, satellite remote sensing, and numerical model output. In this course, students will learn to use MATLAB to visualize earth system data across broad spatial and temporal scales in maps and time-series plots and apply statistical tools to analyze trends and variability in their datasets. Students will also learn to critically assess datasets and to select and justify appropriate data sources and analytical methods to address scientific questions about earth system processes. Students will practice these skills in a series of data analysis assignments focused on regional and global climate data and will apply them in a team-based final research project.
