Statistics for Environmental Scientists
Credits: 3
Grad Meth: Reg
Prerequisite: MATH115.
Restriction: Must be in the Environmental Science and Technology program; or permission of the Environmental Science and Technology department.
Introduces students to statistical methods used in environmental science to analyze, interpret, and communicate data related to environmental science. The course emphasizes solving problems and independent learning and inquiry. Students will learn key concepts in descriptive and inferential statistics, probability distributions, hypothesis testing, regression modeling, and time series analysis. The course also covers advanced topics such as model selection and spatial data analysis. Hands-on exercises using real-world environmental datasets and statistical software (R) will provide students with practical skills in data visualization, analysis, and decision-making. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to critically evaluate environmental data and apply statistical tools to address pressing environmental challenges.
