CIS 102W, 3 credits
This is a discipline-based course that affects an exciting and new learning experience for students, in implementing and enhancing actual Web sites that benefit local non-profit agencies. The students are introduced in class to the methods of designing Web sites in a non-profit paradigm and are involved in developing, implementing and enhancing the sites in the field, in teams that include clientele of the agencies.

Time series analysis is an essential tool to understand hydrological phenomena and their potential for change due to climate variations or land surface characteristics. With the advent of powerful statistical packages (such as S-plus and R), the use of time series analysis techniques is increasingly feasible in hydrological studies. Nevertheless, their use must be based on solid theoretical foundations which include both univariate and multivariate stochastic processes theory and synthetic time series generation. This one-week winter school will focus on the statistical theory and applications of time series analysis. The course will provide the theoretical and applied knowledge for conducting hydrological simulations using time series approaches with a particular emphasis on extreme events across climate regimes.
