Training

We teach a variety of programming and modeling skills workshops, ranging from one- or two-day Software Carpentry workshops to short courses on earth surface process modeling with Landlab and the Python Modeling Toolkit (pymt). Lessons are derived from the CSDMS Ivy course material and presented on the OpenEarthscape JupyterHub, a scalable hosting platform with simple access control for instructors and students. The CSDMS research software engineers (RSEs) have research backgrounds in quantitative earth sciences and expertise in scientific software development, so the courses and workshops we teach can be tailored for a technical focus; for example, we can teach programming best practices, model development, and model coupling with the CSDMS Workbench. Further, we have experience teaching introduction to modeling with hands-on clinics for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students.

Please talk to us about whether CSDMS can provide tailored training for your lab, group, department, or institution: csdms@colorado.edu.
