EASC2410: Data Analysis and Modeling for Earth Sciences

Published:

Computer-based analysis are essential to modern Earth Sciences. We use computer programs to compile and analyze data, to prepare illustrations like maps or data plots, to develop numerical simulations for complex Earth systems, to write manuscripts for journal publications and so on. In this course, you will learn basic computer programming skills with special applications useful to data analysis within the broad field of Earth Sciences. You will learn Python, a very powerful, general-purposed, object-oriented programming language (it is free).

EASC3408: Geophysics

Published:

Geophysics studies the physics of the entire planet Earth. Geophysicists study about everything that means the Earth’s atmosphere (low, middle and high), ionosphere, thermosphere, near- Earth space environment, oceans, cryosphere (glaciers) as well as the solid Earth (crust, mantle, outer and inner core) and it’s thermal evolution. Modern Geophysics is also concerned with Earth’s interactions with the Moon and Sun.

EASC2410: Data Analysis and Modeling for Earth Sciences

Undergraduate course, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2019

In today’s Earth Sciences, computing skills are as essential as a rock hammer! This course teaches you Python programming specifically for geoscience applications. You’ll learn to analyze data, create visualizations, run simulations, and handle research tasks using this powerful, free programming language that’s become the go-to tool for scientists worldwide.

EASC2404: Introduction to the Atmosphere and Hydrosphere

Undergraduate course, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2020

This course explores the fundamental roles of the atmosphere and hydrosphere in Earth’s systems and their critical importance for sustaining life. We’ll examine how human activities impact these spheres and work towards developing sustainable solutions. By focusing on real-world environmental issues, you’ll gain the knowledge and practical tools needed to make informed decisions and contribute meaningfully to environmental challenges.

EASC3420: Machine Learning for Earth and Planetary Sciences

Undergraduate course, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2025

Discover how machine learning is transforming Earth and Planetary Sciences. This course gives you hands-on experience applying ML techniques—from classification to deep learning—to analyze complex geoscience data. You’ll work with real datasets in climate science, seismology, and planetary exploration, building the skills to extract meaningful patterns and insights from some of science’s most challenging data.

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)

Graduate course, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2025

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), the interdisciplinary field that combines fluid dynamics and electrodynamics. Students will explore the fundamental principles, equations, and applications of MHD in contexts such as space plasma, astrophysics, and fusion research. The course is structured to balance theoretical foundations with practical applications, preparing students for advanced study or research in related areas.
