Computational Methods for Geoscience

Catalog description

Modern computational tools to organize, manipulate, analyze and plot data of various origins. The course begins with some background on how to break large tasks into manageable sub-problems, moves into standard features of modern programming languages, and familiarizes students with both Linux command line tools and a higher order programming language. Tools for map making and image manipulation are included as well as the generation of a basic website. Shares lectures and labs with GEOL 4001, with additional expectations for graduate credit. Same as GEOP 5001.
