I did just that in my early career as a hydrogeologist. I wanted to impress my soon to be masters supervisor, so I programmed a simple analytical model that is used in my field. In doing so, I learnt about how cautious groundwater modellers have to be in interpretation and fundamental problems in the mathematics.
My supervisor still brings it up everything I see him at conferences.
- cossatot 10y agoNice! I learned Matlab to do nonlinear optimization of GPS data to solve for fault locking depths and slip rates, and then a year or two later learned Python to do run FEMs of thermochronology data (also to get fault slip rates) on Amazon's servers in parallel. (Matlab was not really up to that task.) None of that was to impress my advisor exactly, but it worked...
