Topics may vary by student interest and can include, scientific and professional ethics of geosciences research, networking, resolving conflict, preparing proposals, non-technical skills, job applications.

Results of new research by students, faculty, and visitors.

Modern Earth and Environmental Scientists deal with complex and often very large data sets that are typically not useful or understandable in raw form. Thus, quantitative data analysis skills are highly desired and useful in Earth Science sub-disciplines. This course provides an introduction to processing, visualizing, and interpreting quantitative Earth and Environmental Science data using scientific computing techniques widely used in the Earth Sciences. Computational methods and visualization will be performed using the computing language python.
