Introduction to Stochastic Hydrology

Hydrologic systems are both complex and extremely heterogeneous in time and space. As hydrological models are simplified versions of reality, their predictions are by definition subject to uncertainty. The field of stochastic hydrology focuses on quantifying this uncertainty along with prediction. This book aims to present an overview of the field of stochastic hydrology at an introductory level. A wide range of topics and methods will be treated, while each topic and method is only treated at a basic level: descriptive statistics; probability and random variables; hydrological statistics and extremes; random functions; time series analysis; geostatistics; forward stochastic modeling; and state prediction and Kalman filtering. The book can be used for a 10-15-week course at third-year undergraduate or first-year graduate level.

Engineering Signal Analysis

Engineering Signal Analysis - Theory, is an introductory textbook on the analysis of signals in time and frequency. It takes an engineer’s perspective and discusses how to characterize, analyze and operate on signals. The basic theoretical concepts, Fourier series and transform, are explained in continuous time. It then introduces discrete-time signals, addressing how sampling and finite signal duration affect spectral analysis. It discusses the discrete Fourier transform and its use in spectral estimation. The book concludes with an introduction to linear systems and signal filtering.

Onderwijs & AI Module voor Docenten

Generative Artificial Intelligence (genAI), ofwel generatieve kunstmatige intelligentie, maakt een snelle groei door. De nieuwste generatie genAI tools is zo goed dat het steeds moeilijker wordt te onderscheiden of een tekst door een mens of AI is geschreven. De ontwikkeling van genAI heeft dan ook een grote impact op de maatschappij en daarmee ook op het onderwijs. Daarnaast kan genAI onderdeel uit gaan maken van de toekomstige werkpraktijk van vele studenten. De realiteit is dat deze technologie er is en we zullen ons ertoe moeten verhouden. Hoewel de eindverantwoordelijkheid voor het gebruik van genAI ligt bij de student zelf, hebben wij de verantwoordelijkheid om hen te helpen hier op een verantwoorde manier mee om te gaan. Deze module beoogt hierbij te ondersteunen. Na het doorlopen van deze module ben je bekend met: Wat genAI is. Wat de impact van genAI is op onze wereld. De juridische kaders van genAI. De relatie tussen genAI en academische waarden en integriteit. De manieren waarop studenten genAI kunnen gebruiken en wat dat kan betekenen voor academisch onderwijs. De impact die genAI kan hebben op jouw onderwijs. Elk van de bovenstaande leerdoelen hoort bij één hoofdstuk van deze module. Deze module is gebaseerd op de module AI geletterdheid van de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. De module is zowel in het Nederlands als het Engels beschikbaar en wordt hier aangeboden als Brightspace package. Dit zou ook in Canvas geïmporteerd kunnen worden.
