OXI 201 - Environmental Modelling: Machine Learning and Data Mining with R

 

Course Description

This 5-day course is focussed on applied environmental modelling. Participants will learn leading modelling techniques from the huge array of possible modelling techniques that exist. Participants will thus benefit from the trainer’s considerable experience in research and modelling by jumping directly to up-to-date modelling techniques needed for today’s world.

In recent years, there has been an exponential increase in data generation. This brings new possibilities to analyse environmental systems. Applications are wide and include improved decision-making in environmental management; environmental protection policies; and urban design. Participants will get hands-on experience and be shown the best practices for understanding, visualising and modelling environmental data.

This program is organized in cooperation with Oxford Intellect. Oxford Intellect supports higher education institutions to benefit from cutting-edge knowledge developed by leading experts in the United Kingdom. Their team is drawn from the leading universities in the United Kingdom including the University of Oxford, the London School of Economics and University College London. They benefit from a wide network of professors, lecturers and researchers who are leading figures in their field.
