Course ConceptThe course is being taught as lecture with de-monstrations and exercises on selected exam-ples from the earth and environmental sciences. The course location is a seminar room at the De-partment of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Potsdam. The participants are expected to come with personal laptops running Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X. A temporary li-cense of MATLAB will be provided by the organi-zers.

Course Program

Monday

Data analysis in earth and environmental scien-ces, types of data, overview of methods, intro-duction to the MATLAB programming environ-ment. MATLAB syntax, import and export of data, types of data, scripts and functions, basic visua-lization techniques.

Tuesday

Univariate statistics, theoretical distributions, hypothesis testing. Bivariate statistics, regressi-on, bootstrap and jackknife, reduced major axis regression, nonlinear weighted regression.

Wednesday

Time-series analysis, Blackman-Tukey spectral analysis, periodogram, evolutionary spectrum, Lomb-Scargle method, Wavelets. Signal proces-sing, convolution and filtering, filter design, adap-tive filters.

Thursday

Analysis of spatial data, digital terrain models, spatial interpolation, visualization of spatial data. Multivariate statistics, principal component ana-lysis, cluster analysis.

Friday

Image processing and analysis, processing and georeferencing satellite images, image analysis of microscope images, quantification of objects in images. Creating animated eBooks and web-pages with MATLAB results. Programming of LEGO® Mindstorms EV3 robots with MATLAB.

ContentThe course introduces methods of data analysis in earth and environmental sciences using MAT-LAB, one of the leading software packages for the solution of mathematical problems. The con-tent of the course includes basic statistics for univariate, bivariate and multivariate datasets, time-series analysis and signal processing, pro-cessing and displaying digital elevation models, gridding and contouring, and image processing and analysis.
