Data Science for the Geosciences
Data Science for the Geosciences provides students and instructors with the statistical and machine learning foundations to address Earth science questions using real-world case studies in natural hazards, climate change, environmental contamination and Earth resources. It focuses on techniques that address common characteristics of geoscientific data, including extremes, multivariate, compositional, geospatial and space-time methods. Step-by-step instructions are provided, enabling readers to easily follow the protocols for each method, solve their geoscientific problems and make interpretations. With an emphasis on intuitive reasoning throughout, students are encouraged to develop their understanding without the need for complex mathematics, making this the perfect text for those with limited mathematical or coding experience. Students can test their skills with homework exercises that focus on data scientific analysis, modeling, and prediction problems, and through the use of supplemental Python notebooks that can be applied to real datasets worldwide.

About the Author
Caers, Jef: - Dr. Jef Caers is Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. He is the author of a wide range of journal papers across mathematics, statistics, geological sciences, geophysics, engineering and computer science, and four other books. He has received several best paper awards, as well as the 2001 Vistelius Award from the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences (IAMG) and the 2014 Krumbein Medal from the IAMG for his career achievement.
Wang, Lijing: - Dr. Lijing Wang is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Area at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. She earned her Ph.D. from the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Stanford University. Her research centers on integrating geoscientific data, such as geophysical surveys and in-situ hydrological measurements, with hydrological modeling to develop informed solutions for water resource management. She was a Stanford Data Science Scholar and had been a teaching assistant for the Data Science for Geosciences course at Stanford for over three years. She has received the Harriet Benson Fellowship from Stanford for her exceptional research accomplishments.
Praise for this book
'Literacy in data science and machine learning methods is a necessity for the modern geoscientist. This is an accessible yet thorough overview of key data science topics and their applications. It uses real-world case studies from a variety of geoscientific disciplines and is a valuable resource for students, practitioners, and instructors alike.' Emma Mackie, University of Florida
'This condensate of essential notions to deal with data typically found in geoscience offers a great toolbox for students who must perform analysis of big data that are spatially distributed or multivariate, or for the estimation of extreme events.' Grégoire Mariethoz, University of Lausanne
