In this course, attendees will learn how to perform; data wrangling and multivariate exploratory data analysis, time series analysis and data visualisation. Each session is hosted by experts in their field, who delve in-depth into the key topic, explaining best practice techniques and approaches. Practical examples and demonstrations are analysed, allowing attendees to apply the knowledge gained and learn hands-on how to use Python- in order to save you time, money and integrate systems effectively.

Course Overview

Part 1 | Lead by Luk Peeters

Data wrangling and multivariate exploratory data analysis

1. Hydrochemistry data

  • Download data from GA’s website;
  • Explore data through scatter plots;
  • Make a Piper plot (and map);
  • Multivariate analysis: principal component analysis, clustering (touching on machine learning in scikit learn).

2. Exploratory Data Analysis APY Lands groundwater dataset

  • Load pre-compiled dataset;
  • Summarise dataset;
  • Visually explore relationships and test hypothesis in the dataset using violin-plots.

3. Datacube: AWRA

  • Load dataset of Australian Water Resources Assessment model from Bureau of Meteorology website;
  • Visualise and explore maps and time series of AWRA outputs;
  • Multivariate analysis and visualisation.

Part 2 | Lead by Chris Turnadge | Time series analysis

1. Data pre-processing

  • Using interpolation to fill gaps;
  • Detection and removal of outliers;
  • Resampling to higher or lower sampling resolution;
  • Temporal differencing;
  • Detrending data using time and frequency domain methods.

2. Decomposing hydrograph data

  • Quantifying the relative contributions of component processes.

3. Interpreting responses to time-lagged processes

  • Demonstration of convolution;
  • Regression deconvolution.

4. Interpreting responses to periodic processes

  • The discrete Fourier transform;
  • Periodogram-based approaches;
  • Harmonic least squares.

Part 3 | Lead by Vincent Post | Data visualisation

1. Data visualisation and linking it with Google Earth;
2. Visualisation of modelled flowpaths in 3D;
3. Evaluation of pumping tests.

Format

The course is delivered through units via the learning platform (LMS).

  • This course is designed to be highly practical, with 6+ hours of training session recordings;
  • Pre-and-post-course materials to go through via the LMS;
  • Exercises between the 3 parts;
  • Manual of the course and working model download/s;
  • Ability to access all the online course materials with unlimited course access for 30-days.

Preparation

Pre-course reading and video watching is encouraged.

Requirements

A good internet connection and software and downloads as described in the learning platform.

Outcome

On completion of the course attendees will be issued with a Certificate of Participation.
