Course Overview
A 5-weeks online programme, the Hurricane Tracking with Satellite Data course is developed to impart students with comprehensive knowledge about how they can analyse satellite data related to hurricanes and predict hurricanes’ paths to minimise the damage caused by them.
Satellite-enabled data allows us to monitor, track and observe hurricanes from a secure distance. You will be gaining insights on how these datasets can be explored to derive descriptive stats. With the help of Hurricane Tracking with Satellite Data online programme, you will understand the important ideas of data science imperative to analyse, process, and finally interpret the large sets of data.
Utilizing the tracking data made possible by satellites, you will see how predicting the paths of hurricanes is crucial in administrating, evacuations, and relief efforts to save countless lives that are endangered by these natural disasters.
The Hurricane Tracking with Satellite Data course by FutureLearn uses practical case studies and tutorials for enabling you to extract vital information from the satellite datasets.
