DESCRIPTION:The training focuses on the application of data science techni
 ques to understand Space Weather phenomena and the ionosphere. One of the 
 most valuable data sources for studying the ionosphere comes from Global N
 avigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). These systems provide continuous\, hig
 h-resolution measurements of the total electron content (TEC) in the ionos
 phere\, enabling researchers to monitor and model space weather effects. G
 NSS data can also be used to study Earth's rotation\, crustal deformations
 \, and other geophysical processes. The planned training will introduce pa
 rticipants to the fundamental principles of data science in scientific res
 earch\, using GNSS data as a practical example. Attendees will learn how t
 o process and analyze observational data to gain insights into complex geo
 physical systems. The training will cover key aspects of data collection\,
  quality control\, analysis techniques\, and visualization methods\, all a
 pplied to real-world space science applications.\n The organizing committ
