    Over the past few months I’ve started a new job working at the Geomatics and Cartographic Research Centre (GCRC) at Carleton University. It’s been a splendid place to work and learn, and it has helped me think about the world in fascinating ways. The project I’ve been working on with the GCRC over the past…

    Hello! This is my follow up post to my last post. Over the past little bit I have learned new things and I’ve seriously changed my preprocessing set up. Initially I thought I would simply edit the original post, but I figured why not show my errors instead. Furthermore, during the process of reviewing deep…

    Apologies for the long wait time between this post and the last one. Hopefully we can all relate to the ever-extending nature of holiday/new years lethargy. Anyways, I’m back now! Last time we left off, I was giving a quick tutorial on Net CDF files using NASA’s sea ice dataset. Today, we’re going to do…

    I found there weren’t any good resources online that had clear instructions on how to process .nc and .nc4 files through Python, so I thought I’d make a post about it myself. What are .nc and .nc4 files? First, it’s important not to get these files confused with NC (Numerical Control) files which are used…
