Numerical Simulation Basics: Part II – Boundary Conditions & Numerical Stability for a Finite-Difference Equation
Jim Boyle, Western Connecticut State University
This is the second and last activity teaching numerical simulation basics to students in a junior-level physical oceanography course. In the first activity students program solutions for a 1st order differential ...

Stress Map
James Conder, Southern Illinois University Carbondale
Use earthquakes from the global CMT catalog to look at crustal stresses in a given region of the Earth. Students will download earthquake data from an online catalog and make 2 tectonic maps. One map is of the ...

Hurricane Time Series Analysis
Henry Potter, Texas A & M University
This activity uses Atlantic hurricane data from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Students will run the code provided to produce figures (scatter plots, time series, and histograms) that ...

Analyzing GPS time series data in Central California
Jill Pearse, California State University-Long Beach
This activity is designed for advanced undergraduate Geology students in a Data Analysis course, to introduce them to time series analysis. No programming experience is assumed, but students are expected to have ...
