About

The hands-on tutorial aims to train participants in accessing and processing geospatial data for hydrologic applications using cyberinfrastructure, with a focus on FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data principles. The training will focus on accessing Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data from the OpenTopography for any location in the world, and on processing DEM data for hydrologic applications. Typically, hydrology researchers rely on GUI-based tools such as ArcGIS and QGIS for their geospatial operations. However, performing repetitive tasks on multiple areas of interest can be time-consuming and redundant. By adopting Python-based workflows, participants can streamline these operations and efficiently handle repetitive tasks, leading to increased productivity and minimized redundancy.

Objectives

  • To gain knowledge in accessing and processing geospatial data for hydrologic applications using Python-based Jupyter Notebooks.
  • To develop the skills to process digital elevation model (DEM) data specifically tailored for hydrologic applications, enhancing your expertise in the field.
  • To develop the skills to process digital elevation model (DEM) data specifically tailored for hydrologic applications, enhancing your expertise in the field.

10 recent updates you may have missed

Accounts & access  October 2026

Creating courses and communities now goes through an application

Only approved instructors can create courses, and starting a community now needs approval too. Apply from the site; you can have one open request of each kind at a time.

Communities  October 2026

Apply from Manage Communities

If you can't create a community yet, Manage Communities now offers an Apply button instead of an empty page.

Courses  October 2026

Instructors keep control of the modules they teach

Instructors can delete their own modules and achievements. Anyone who teaches a module keeps the Instructing tools; people who teach nothing no longer see them.

Administration  October 2026

Admins are notified in the app about new applications

When someone applies to teach or to start a community, admins now get a notification in the app that links to the application.

Administration  October 2026

Set permissions for each module on the Roles page

Pick a module on the Roles page to set its permissions. Denied now saves, and deleting a role no longer ends in an error.

News & events  October 2026

The news menu leaves out types nobody uses

Unused types are hidden from the news menu, the Type field has a help window, and copying an event with no end time now works.

News & events  October 2026

News widgets update as soon as news changes

Widgets that show news refresh when an article or update is saved, deleted or restored, instead of waiting for their cache to expire.

News & events  October 2026

Tooltips no longer get stuck on screen

Tooltips now close when the icon they belong to disappears, so they stop piling up on the news list and beside inline edit icons.

Forums  October 2026

My Discussions on your dashboard

The dashboard has Content links for My Discussions and the News manager, and My Discussions now highlights correctly and explains itself when empty.

Courses  September 2026

The site works properly on a phone or tablet now

Pages across courses, the homepage, and admin now adapt to small screens: a real menu on mobile, tables that scroll instead of overflow, and layouts that no longer break below 1024px.
