Climate change and extreme values analysis
Alexandre Martinez, University of California-Irvine
In this activity, we learn where to get climate data (monthly temperature maxima and monthly precipitation maxima) from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). We learn how to fit a GEV ...

Calculating and using Unit Hydrograph using Matlab
Negin Hayatbini, University of California-Irvine; Alexandre Martinez, University of California-Irvine
We are using the concept of Unit Hydrograph to understand the behavior of a watershed following a rain event and to calculate the runoff following any rainfall event.

Visualizing symmetry elements for crystal classes using MATLAB
Jeremy Deans, University of Southern Mississippi
This assignment provides students practice in a mineralogy class to learn symmetry motifs, symmetry operations, and crystal classes by using the MTEX toolbox in MATLAB. The students will load the MTEX toolbox and ...

Tidal analysis and prediction
Ali Reza Payandeh, Louisiana State University
This activity explores theoretical concepts for student to better understand tides. Students calculate tidal constituent amplitudes and phases with the help of the T_TIDE Matlab software package using observed ...

Stream flow and concentration relationships
Lin Ma, University of Texas at El Paso
This exercise uses field monitoring (stream flow and electric conductivity) and laboratory analytical results (major solute concentrations) to explore the stream flow generation function and relationships between ...
