Computer Programmieren in Hydrologie

What it is about

You will learn basic programming in Python with a focus on applications in hydrology. By the end you will be able to map hydrological questions into runnable programs, process input data, write models, evaluate outputs, and present them graphically.

What you will be able to do

• Understand data representation in the computer
• Understand the effect of computer instructions on data
• Translate thoughts and equations into machine-readable form
• Develop computer code to model aspects of the hydrological cycle
• Read and assess other people's source code
• Plan larger projects and implement them in a team

What the module consists of

• Vorlesung mit integrierten ÜbungenConveying concepts, examples and immediate application in small tasks; demonstration of an IDE; hands-on support
• Hausaufgaben/ProjektarbeitDeepening through individual or group tasks; final project report and presentation

Teaching method

• Beispiele gefolgt von ÜbungsaufgabenConcepts are shown first and then practically applied in small problems to practice translating thoughts into code
• Hands-on mit eigenem LaptopPractical implementation with portable open-source software and direct support
• Demonstration eines IDEEfficient use of development tools
• Gruppenarbeit und ProjektberichtEncourages planning, collaboration and the creation of a runnable program including analysis and visualization
