Welcome SCHOOL: Community Modules

Welcome to the Community Generated module of the SCHOOL curriculum!

The Science Core Heuristics for Open Science Outcomes in Learning (SCHOOL) is part of the NASA Transform to Open Science (TOPS) Training (TOPST) initiative, designed to teach the data science lifecycle using data from the NASA Earth Sciences division and to foster an inclusive culture of open science. You can learn more about the SCHOOL Project and other modules on the SCHOOL Project home page.

This module is tailored to instruct undergraduate students and early-career researchers with some coding language exposure about the data science life cycle, illustrating how Open Science principles can be effectively applied to earth sciences, particularly in the context of water.

The SCHOOL Modules do not intend to teach all-encompassing earth science lessons nor provide learners with total coding expertise. Instead, the SCHOOL Project aims to provide users with the skills to adapt the SCHOOL lessons to the users’ own Open Science workflow. To learn more about Open Science, explore NASA’s TOPS Open Science 101 Curriculum. To explore other themes in the SCHOOL project, visit our Modules Page.

Community Generated: Multi-Hazards
This lesson showcases community-generated lessons that demonstrate different aspects of the data science life cycle.
- Lesson 4a: Mapping Wildfire Burned Areas Using VIIRS/AVIRIS-3 Data (Python)

- [Lesson 4b: The Major Effects of Climate Change Towards the Arctic Ecosystem (Python)](https://ciesin-geospatial.github.io/TOPSTSCHOOL-disasters/m304b-arctic-climate.html)

- [Lesson 4c: Data Analysis of California Wildfires (Python)](https://ciesin-geospatial.github.io/TOPSTSCHOOL-disasters/m304c-california-wildfires.html)
