Cyberinfrastructure to Support Water Science Education and Reproducible Science

Fluency in software tools, libraries, and languages is becoming an essential skill of scientists that can directly influence the effectiveness and efficiency of their work. While graduate students often learn these skills while conducting research, these are difficult to teach undergraduate students. This seminar will discuss CUAHSI’s investment in cyberinfrastructure to support water science research, training, and education. Topics will range from designing educational modules and hosting workshops to hydrologic modeling and data analysis. Participants can expect a primer on JupyterHub and the cyberinfrastructure that has been designed to support these workflows, as well as detailed demonstrations of common educational and research use cases. Participants are expected to have a basic understanding of HydroShare.org and the Python programming language, and are encouraged to participate in the live demonstrations.

软件工具、库以及编程语言的熟练运用正逐渐成为科学家必备的核心技能，这一技能直接关系到其工作的效果与效率。尽管研究生在学习研究过程中往往能够掌握这些技能，但对于本科生而言，这些技能的传授却颇具挑战。本次研讨会将探讨 CUAHSI 在构建支持水科学研究和教育的基础设施方面的投资。议题将涵盖从设计教育模块和举办研讨会，到水文模型构建与数据分析等多个方面。参与者可以期待获得关于 JupyterHub 以及为支持这些工作流程而设计的网络基础设施的入门知识，以及常见教育与研究用例的详细演示。预期参与者具备对 HydroShare.org 的基本了解，并熟悉 Python 编程语言，并鼓励他们参与现场演示。
