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.

10 recent updates you may have missed

Courses  September 2026

Videos play without error pop-ups

A video whose progress could not be recorded raised an error dialog every two seconds while it played. It now plays quietly and records what it can.

Courses  September 2026

Set what it takes to complete each material

Whoever builds a module now chooses, material by material, what counts as finishing it: opening it, keeping it open for a set number of seconds, or the learner marking it done.

Courses  September 2026

Mark a material complete, and see how many are left

Materials you finish yourself now carry a Mark complete button, and a module shows how many of its materials you have done.

Media  September 2026

Uploads accept the full size they advertise

The 100 MB limit was applied as 100 KB, so almost any real file was refused. Limits are now in MB: 100 for documents, 200 for audio and video, 10 for images.

Media  September 2026

More file types accepted, and a reason when one is not

Uploads no longer have to match a fixed list, so archives and notebooks go through. Programs and scripts are refused, naming the file and why.

Courses  September 2026

A one-line description on every material

Materials now carry a short description shown beside the title in the list, so a row says what the thing is rather than just "week1.pdf".

Courses  September 2026

Audio length and file size in materials lists

Uploaded audio now reports its length, files show their size, and a long recording reads "1 hour, 20 minutes" rather than being cut to "1 hour".

Courses  August 2026

Jump to any part of a course from the sidebar

The sidebar now shows the whole course — every module, section and item — so material elsewhere in it is one click away, instead of going up and back down.

Courses  August 2026

A way back out of course material

Material, quiz and score pages now open with a Back button at the top of the sidebar, returning you to the module or course you came from.

Courses  August 2026

Full titles in the breadcrumb trail

Names in the trail at the top of the page were cut off at 30 characters, sometimes mid-word. They now appear in full.
