Research Methods in Geosciences

Students will gain the foundational tools needed to conduct geosciences research. Python will be introduced and used throughout for data exploration, visualization, and analysis. Topics include applied statistics, experimental design, regression, spectral analysis, and random sampling methods. Lectures will include a mix of theory and programming demonstrations, interspersed with field and lab sessions to collect data from various geosciences topic areas (e.g., ocean and atmospheric sciences, sedimentology, remote sensing).
