This is a basic course in the application of time series techniques to geophysical data. Emphasis is on working with real data and properly interpreting results of analyses rather than on mathematical derivations.
Time series used as examples in the class include tree rings, precipitation, and streamflow.
Students apply methods to a class data set in a series of weekly exercises that include short write-ups. Meetings alternate between lecture sessions introducing methods and computer sessions applying the methods. The course is presented as three sequentual 1-credit modules each lasting about 5 weeks. Students may register for all three modules, or just module 1, or 1 and 2. Back to Top of Page Syllabus Calendar Class meets twice a week for 75 minute sessions.
