Open Earth Sprint Session - Grain size data

As in previous years, prior to the 2015 NCK Days "Icebreaker", www.OpenEarth.nl organizes a hands-on sprint session. In this sprint session, we will explain how to access and visualize some great, open-access, grain size datasets of the Dutch coast:

1. Sediment Atlas WaddenZee (RWS): 7500(!) distribution curves[1] in Marsdiep-EmsDollard
2. TNO 13.000(!) cores for the entire Dutch continental shelf[2] via NODC/SeaDataNet
3. TNO dz10, dz50, dz90 maps with 200m resolution for the entire Dutch Continental Shelf[3]
4. Along the Dutch beaches, grain sizes for dune safety assessment (RWS)

During this sprint session you’ll learn how to work with these free data in Matlab and/or Python. Bring your own laptop to work with the data, and take a copy home.
