NRES 800: Data Science for Natural Resources
Fall 2026 Course Book
Welcome
This book is meant to be the place you come back to when the slides are not enough. In NRES 800, we will move through a lot of data science ideas and workflows, often by doing them. The chapters here are slower and more detailed so you can review the steps, see how the pieces fit together, and check your work outside of class.
The next page introduces the practical workflow, semester map, and chapter guide.
