MTHM507 Communicating Data Science CA1 – Individual assignment – 1short essay (about 1500 words for each essay) Deadline: noon, Fri 19th Feb by 5pm via ELE. Ocean Using the IPCC AR5 Ocean chapter, 2019 IPCC chapter 6, and knowledge shared in our lectures summarise and explain why Ocean extremes are becoming more severe and what the consequences can be. What do you think? What is certain vs. uncertain, and what are the main reasons for uncertainty (especially from a data analysis point of view). Try to explain in a way that a student entering a Masters level data science degree will be able to understand. Some ADSS guidance: This is a very broad topic – so choosing how to focus is important. A lot of data and data science analysis products are in this material. You can reproduce figures from papers and quote facts and phrases, ensure you cite them properly. The writing you do for this needs to be your own work. Also, take this opportunity to introduce ideas you may have and to talk and write about these clearly.
