## Learning Objectives
## WSIM-GLDAS

WSIM-GLDAS is an open source dataset that characterizes surpluses and deficits of freshwater and the parameters determining these anomalies.

- Globally rasterized dataset issued monthly for 1948-2014
- Composite surplus/deficit anomalies
- Multitude of additional metrics and integration periods
- [Freely available on SEDAC](https://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/set/water-wsim-gldas-v1)

::: {.notes}
The datasets are available as multidimensional netCDF files
:::

## Open Science Components

Like all other components of the SCHOOL project, the water resource modules are entirely open source.

We are currently in the early development phases and need to adjust the narrative voice between 3 learning/content components:
- Open source computing (R, Rstudio, VS Code, QGIS, etc.)
- Open source datasets; freely available and well documented
- Open source development
- Open source "results" on GitHub Pages

::: {.notes}
- Development components are also open science. We're bringing along research assistants with descriptive vignette templates/lessons
- I'm developing on a mix of tech stacks, but it's important to make sure our modules work on Linux/Ubuntu

## Narrative Objectives

We are currently in the early development phases and need to adjust the narrative voice between 3 learning/content components.

- Water resources
- Technical data
- Technical coding

::: {.notes}
One goal of these two days is to solicit feedback regarding objectives like these.

## Water Resource Narrative

- Globally rasterized dataset issued monthly for 1948-2014
- Composite surplus/deficit anomalies
- Multitude of
- [Freely available on SEDAC](https://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/data/set/water-wsim-gldas-v1)
These include introducing the domain knowledge and human narrative that can be derived from these datasets.

- Understanding the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of droughts and floods.
- Exploring drought and flooding events in areas of interest to you and learning about the impacts to local water supplies, agriculture, recreation, and tourism.
- Basic background on the water cycle.

## Technical Data Narrative

- What does water resource data "look" like?
- Where do you find it and *how* do you get it?

## Coding Narrative

Are we interested at all in teaching people how to code? Unlikely but then how do you address all the code.

```{.r}
# generate a vector of dates for subsetting
keeps<-seq(lubridate::ymd("2000-01-01"),
lubridate::ymd("2014-12-01"),
by = "month")
# filter using that vector
wsim_gldas_anoms <- dplyr::filter(wsim_gldas_anoms, time %in% keeps)
# verify the time dimension was properly subsetted
print(wsim_gldas_anoms)
# do a visual check with the first 6 time-steps
wsim_gldas_anoms |>
dplyr::slice(index = 1:6, along = "time") |>
plot(key.pos = 1)
```

## Outputs and Analyses

Whatever the chosen narrative voice and content, we hope to bring greater understanding for each module through visualizations and analysis. The WSIM-GLDAS water resource modules will achieve this by creating:

- National and regional 12 month integration composite surplus/deficit maps
- Time series illustrations of point locations
- Population exposure time series figures and tables

## Composite Surplus and Deficit Maps

Twelve month integration maps illustrate the observed drought or flooding of an area relative to a long term baseline period.

::: {.notes}
- Longer term integration plots quickly summarize climate trends for large areas, and help users identify areas of interes.
:::

## Location of Interest

Point location time series figures illustrate long term trends for a single location on a month to month basis.

::: {.notes}
- These plots can really bring the impacts of droughts and floods to a specific point; your home, your school, etc.
:::

## Population Exposure

Population exposure plots and tables help illustrate the sociological impacts of droughts and floods.

::: {.notes}
- Commonplace to show maps depicting extreme heat or floods in a particular area, but does anyone actually live there?
