| Description: Models are simple representations of the real world, which can be used to convey information, generate and test hypotheses, and make predictions about what will happen in the future. This course introduces students to the art and science of modeling natural systems, as well as their mathematical and statistical foundations. Students will gain experience in asking research questions, creating hypotheses, collecting and arranging data, and designing computer models (in R) to address a variety of environmental problems. This course will include lecture and hands-on computer exercises and is aimed at students with interests in earth and environmental science or data science. |
