Introduction to hydrologic model calibration part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2019:Activities
In this exercise, we introduce the concept of model calibration for rainfall-runoff models. We specifically employ a synthetic precipitation data as input to the hydrologic model to generate synthetic runoff. The ...

Kinetics of Herbicide Photodegradation part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2019:Activities
This lab activity is designed to connect student's knowledge of reaction rates to actual data and an unfamiliar system (photodegradation of phenylurea herbicides in the presence of various catalysts). Students ...

Impacts of anthropogenic sound on marine mammals part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2019:Activities
Marine mammals rely on sound for their daily existence. Therefore, the introduction of anthropogenic noise in the marine environment can have a profound impact on their behavior. Listening to sounds in the ocean is ...

Sensitivity of Parameters in Chaotic Systems part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2019:Activities
In this computer lab activity, students explore and discuss the nature of the sensitivity of parameters in a chaotic system. As a result, they understand the challenges of numerical simulation and/or parameters ...
