Teaching

courses taught

GEOG 5463 - Earth Analytics Data Science Bootcamp
Secondary Instructor - Fall 2024
Learn key skills to automate data processing and visualization workflows that support both repeatable analysis and collaborative project approaches using scientific programming, version control and project management tools. Covers working with heterogeneous, large spatio-temporal data derived from space, airborne and ground based sensors and other sources. Gain applied experience through group projects that address real world problems. Same as GEOG 4463.
GEOG 5663 - Earth Analytics Applications
Secondary Instructor - Summer 2025
Develop expertise in finding, organizing, managing and processing large, heterogeneous, spatio-temporal data to address a real-world problem. Students will work collaboratively on semi-guided science project. Students gain critical skills required to understand data structures, utilize APIs, extract insight from data and understand how uncertainty propagates. Culminates with a formal presentation of project results. May be repeated up to 3 total credit hours.
