Hydrology - Data analysis

ECTS

5

Keywords

Hydrology: Water cycle - Catchment basin - Aquifers - Piezometric maps - Pumping tests - Rainfall - Runoff - Water balance - Hydrographs

Data analysis: Statistics, Data analysis, Causal relations, Mutivariate analysis, Markov diffusion

Description

Hydrology: This teaching unit is composed of two complementary sections in order to propose an integrated approach of the continental hydrosystems. The first one is dealing with surface waters, the other is dealing with ground waters. The courses, tutorials and practical are intended to provide the elementary methodological tools necessary for engineers or research approaches.

Data analysis: The course is intended to give students the background to use advanced statistical techniques needed for environmental studies. The courses will help students develop their analytic and critical thinking abilities. The practice on Statistical software will be done during the practical training courses.
