Online Resources, Maps, and Seismicity

Living on the side of a volcano in Panama, this has motivated me to compile a resource for observing and evaluating the local seismic behavior.  This example features a map having custom layers. There are basemaps with integrated seafloor bathymetry, tectonic boundaries, volcanoes and earthquakes, and more. Here is a demo:

OpendTect6 and Chrome Remote Desktop on Linux

I found a snag with Chrome Remote Desktop after upgrading to OpendTect 6 under Debian-based linux- Ubuntu and Mint to be specific. I found that launching OpendTect was producing a segmentation fault before anything else. I tried everything in the beginning- changing video drivers, changing desktops (Unity, Gnome, XFCE4), reinstalling OpenGL libraries. Nothing was working, and […]

Cycling in Boquete, Chiriqui, Panama

This is a little project I’m starting for archiving cycling trails and common routes.  This example features Boquete in the Chiriqui Province of Panama.  Full-size map available at bici.energeosol.com. I welcome all GPX file submissions, and can create a similar project in your area.  The waypoints along tracks are mile markers that are calculated automatically. […]

Journal of Applied Geophysics 75 (2011) 603 – 614: Optimal Filtering High-Resolution Seismic Reflection Data using a Weighted-Mode Empirical Mode Decomposition Operator • Published in 2011

Journal of Applied Geophysics 75 (2011) ,p.603 – 614 EMD is a signal processing technique useful in study non-stationary physical processes. In this study We expanded EMD tool introducing the weighted mode EMD. High resolution seismic data are optimal filtering adopting the weighted mode EMD. Results are used to image complex geology in Gulf of […]

tsheets

I started using tsheets and decided to give their API a test run. Very nice to be able to scrape invoices out of their backend to be presented as my own customized invoices. Here’s a sample of the API… easy access: https://gist.github.com/bbattista/67049086f4c7dd26507e
