Books

  • An Introduction to Erth and Evironmental Data Science By Ryan Abernathey. This book grew out of a course developed at Columbia University called Research Computing in Earth Science. It was written mostly by Ryan Abernathey, with significant contributions from Kerry Key and Tim Crone. By separating the book from the class, we hope to create an open-source community resource for Python education in the Earth and Environmental Sciences.
