Python Programming Language Earth Design

This textbook introduces the use of Python programming for exploring and modelling data in the field of Earth Sciences. It drives the reader from his very first steps with Python, like setting up the environment and starting writing the first lines of codes, to proficient use in visualizing, analyzing, and modelling data in the field of Earth Science.

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C. The language provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale.

In this class, you will learn to write computer programs with special applications useful to Earth Scientists. We will learn Python, an object-oriented programming language, and use Jupyter notebooks to write our Python programs.

Python is a widely used, open-source programming languages. In Earth science, scientific programming languages like Python, help you speed up and automate tedious tasks like downloading large datasets or performing repetitive calculations that you might otherwise have to do manually. Try using Python to address Earth Science questions with the

tomatically and generate updated graphs. The most common compiled languages for programming are the C programming language and its derivatives C or C, Java and Fortran, to name just a few. These languages are very powerful but have the disadvantage that commands are not directly evaluated. Instead, the following procedure has to be followed

This course draws on data from a wide variety of Earth Science topics such as structural geology, plate tectonics, paleoceanography, oceanography, and so on. Students learn Python Programming techniques to analyze and visualize data, including making maps, basic statistics, 3D projections, an introduction to machine learning and many others.

This repository consists of a series of Python lessons. Lessons emphasize Earth Science concepts, but are applicable to anybody looking to learn the Python programming language. These lessons assume no prior coding experience. Therefore, they are accessible to everybody! This repository contains the materials for seven lessons.

Introduction This course is designed for professionals in the earth sciences and engineering who have never learned to program or who learned programming many years ago and wish to brush up on the fundamentals of programming. The course covers the basic topics of structured or procedural programmingvariables and expressions, functions, branching, looping, and arraysusing the

Chapter Ten - Get Started Using Python. In this chapter, you will learn what makes Python a useful programming language for scientific workflows. You will get started with writing Python code to create variables and lists to store information i.e. data and run basic operations on them e.g. updates, comparisons. You will also learn about the PEP 8 Style Guide for Python, which provides
