DMC 102 - Data Analytics for Sustainability (4 Cr.)

(GCR DAF)(LER MR and LER ENV)(GCR ENV)
Trillions of terabytes of data are generated and recorded daily by just using a smartphone, driving a car, or using a credit card. The same is true when goods are shipped across the world, grass is watered in a desert, corporate buildings are lit 24 hours a day, or the Chesapeake Bay is tested for various water pollutants. In this course, we will examine this data and how it shapes our environment. Students will collect, represent, analyze and interpret data from a variety of sources as means to analyze environmental sustainability issues and the debates centered on them. An assortment of software tools will be used to process this data. Spring semester. Le, Webster.
