Logo for the GPlately + PyGMT tutorial suite.

EarthByte has released version 1.0 of an open-source tutorial suite, “Extending PyGMT into Deep Time via GPlately“, which combines GPlately’s plate-tectonic reconstructions with PyGMT’s publication-quality cartography. The AuScope-supported suite includes 80 Jupyter notebooks organised into 11 thematic learning clusters, with workflows ranging from a first paleogeographic map for undergraduates to research-grade applications. Topics covered include … Read more…

SAnTex: A Python-based Library for Seismic Anisotropy Calculation

by

Seismic anisotropy, the directional dependency of seismic wave velocities, is important for mapping the Earth’s structure and understanding geodynamic processes. Seismic anisotropy primarily stems from the development of mineral crystallographic preferred orientation (i.e. texture) during the plastic deformation of rocks. In-depth analysis of data from texture characterization techniques like Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) enables the … Read more…
