MathWorks Hosts:
The Power of Data in Climate Science

Monday, October 16 from 4:30pm-6:00pm

Alumni Room, Framingham State University
During Massachusetts STEM Week 2023

Join MathWorks for a workshop session where you will learn about the power of data in climate science! Intended for high school and college students and all educators.

In this presentation, we will explore how scientists and engineers are utilizing MATLAB and Simulink to conduct cutting-edge research in the field of climate science. We will also showcase how these powerful tools can aid in the analysis of climate data and help to answer questions such as: “Is the Amazon rainforest disappearing?” and “What is a heatwave?”

During the session, participants will have the opportunity to explore and visualize data hands-on using these tools. Bringing a laptop is encouraged!


Resources:

  1. Getting Started with Image Processing:

    • Video on the Amazon deforestation

    • Code that accompanies the video

  2. Heatwave data visualization examples

  3. Getting started Onramps on a variety of topics (free, self-paced online tutorials)

  4. MATLAB and Simulink for Students

  5. Designed by MATLAB

Framingham State MATLAB Portal Page – Students, faculty and researchers at Framingham State University can download MATLAB, access MATLAB Online, Self-paced training, Technical Support, and various teaching resources.
