Visualization and Communication - Einzelansicht

The module syllabus includes literature and data research, identifying scientific and controversial material, drafting a data analysis project, using modern visualization techniques, and presentation techniques for an expert or lay audience as well as decision-makers. This module consists of a weekly seminar with invited lecturers from the earth and environmental sciences.

It is planned to run this course entirely online. There will be Zoom sessions at the specified time (or a time more convenient for the participants) with lectures, demos, exercises, Q/A and student's weekly challenges. The Moodle site will provide extensive teaching material, for example (pre)recorded lectures, guest contributions, reading material, exercises and recommendations for further information.

In addition to the Zoom Session, there will be the opportunity to ask questions and run discussions on the Moodle site, allowing for asynchronous course participation. The course is based on the instructor's book, in addition to fresh material provided on the Moodle page:
