On Sunday, January 12, 2025, from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm CST (or 7:00 am to 11:00 am MST), join the GeoCAT team for “Data Visualization in Python: Leveraging Community Tools for Earth System Science Across Scales.” This hybrid short course is taking place at the 105th AMS Annual Meeting at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, and will also be offered online.

Data visualization is a key component of the scientific process. With the growing complexity of Earth System science data, it is crucial to stay abreast of the latest advancements in tools and techniques. This half-day short course guides participants through a range of tools, techniques, and resources (e.g. Project Pythia, GeoCAT) for visualization of Earth System science data across scales leveraging open-source software from the scientific Python ecosystem (e.g. Matplotlib, Cartopy, Holoviews, Geoviews, UXarray).

The course covers advanced techniques, including domain-specific plots, animations, interactive tools, and visualization of data on unstructured grids.
