A short course covering Python basics, with an emphasis on geoscience applications.

Python for Geoscientists

These Jupyter notebooks support a Python short course designed for curious geoscientists and engineers. The course is suitable for any coding background. It begins with elementary Python concepts and builds iteratively upon these to produce some almost sophisticated examples. The content is organised into four modules: Introduction to Python, Managing your Data, Visualising your Data, and Modelling your Data.

Getting Started

Download and unzip a copy of this repository. Begin with the quick-start.pdf document or open the intro.ipynb notebooks.

Prerequisites

To run IPython and the Jupyter Notebooks, download a copy of Anaconda Python 3.X. Additional packages may need to be installed on the fly, including: cartopy, corner, emcee.

You will also need to download a copy of ffmpeg.
