The world of Earth science data is complex and can be overwhelming with a wide range of data sources and formats, hefty downloads and the need for complicated analytical tools. To make use of enormous volumes of available data and geoinformation products, one has to know where and how to search and obtain the data, how to analyze the data, and how to extract useful information and knowledge. In this course, you will learn about the state-of-the-art Web-based tools that allow you to efficiently display and analyze a large number of datasets in a way many professionals working in the Earth science domain would. You will learn how to visualize multiple Earth science datasets produced by NASA in a variety of ways directly on the Internet, without the need to download, manage and store them. Students will be introduced to comprehensive functions to analyze the data and generate customized maps, animations, multi-variable correlations, regional subsetting, etc.
Ulimwengu wa data ya sayansi ya Dunia ni tata na inaweza kuwa kubwa na aina mbalimbali za vyanzo vya data na muundo, downloads kubwa na haja ya zana ngumu za uchambuzi. Ili kutumia kiasi kikubwa cha data na bidhaa za habari za kijiografia, mtu lazima ajue wapi na jinsi ya kutafuta na kupata data, jinsi ya kuchambua data, na jinsi ya kutoa habari na maarifa muhimu. Katika kozi hii, utajifunza juu ya zana za hali ya sanaa za mtandao ambazo zinakuruhusu kuonyesha na kuchambua idadi kubwa ya seti za data kwa njia ambayo wataalamu wengi wanaofanya kazi katika uwanja wa sayansi ya Dunia wangefanya. Unaweza kuona jinsi ya kuunda seti nyingi za data za Sayansi ya Dunia zinazozalishwa na NASA moja kwa moja kwenye mtandao bila haja ya kuvipakua, kuzisimamia na kuzihifadhi. Wanafunzi wataanzishwa kwa kazi kamili ya kuchambua data na kuzalisha ramani zilizoboreshwa, uhuishaji, mahusiano ya multivariable, subsetting ya kikanda, nk.
