Description - a brief synopsis, abstract or summary of what the learning resource is about: 

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to a wide variety of earth science datasets, formats and analysis software. Students will learn and practice methods using a common ocean area, and they are expected to create a personal project of data products for a marine region of their own choosing. Personal projects are presented by the students at the end of the course.  This course requires either guest or POGO Scholar login, and is hosted on a Moodle platform.
