Many students find it daunting to move from studying environmental
science, to designing and implementing their own research
proposals. This book provides a practical introduction to help
develop scientific thinking, aimed at undergraduate and new
graduate students in the earth and environmental sciences. Students
are guided through the steps of scientific thinking using published
scientific literature and real environmental data. The book starts
with advice on how to effectively read scientific papers, before
outlining how to articulate testable questions and answer them
using basic data analysis. The Mauna Loa CO2 dataset is used to
demonstrate how to read metadata, prepare data, generate effective
graphs and identify dominant cycles on various timescales.
Practical, question-driven examples are explored to explain running
averages, anomalies, correlations and simple linear models. The
final chapter provides a framework for writing persuasive research
proposals, making this an essential guide for students embarking on
their first research project.
