Hi Martin, For a geosciences audience, you may find the Software Carpentry capstone lesson on "Data Management in the Ocean, Weather and Climate Sciences" useful. There's a link to the materials on the lesson page of the Software Carpentry website: http://software-carpentry.org/lessons.html
In terms of timing, I just ran a workshop for weather, ocean and climate scientists at the University of Queensland and in two days we got through the Software Carpentry lessons on Programming with Python; Version Control with Git; Data Management in the Ocean, Weather and Climate Sciences; and Automation and Make. I'd probably describe the audience as intermediate (experience with using the shell was assumed - we set the unix shell lessons as pre-reading for the small number of people who didn't have experience with the shell).
