Introducing GPlately

Introducing GPlately

The ability to easily compile and quickly evaluate both geological and geophysical data is essential for geodynamicists to understand Earth’s evolution. This week Dr. Ben Mather, a Research Fellow at the University of Sydney, introduces us to GPlately, a new tool designed to accelerate spatio-temporal data analysis in GPlates.  GPlately is a Python package that enables the reconstruction of ...[Read More]

It doesn’t work! (Asking questions about scientific software)

It doesn’t work! (Asking questions about scientific software)

Numerical modelling is not always a walk in the park. In fact, many of us occasionally encounter problems that we cannot directly solve ourselves, and thus rely on help from others. In this month’s Wit & Wisdom post, Patrick Sanan, postdoctoral researcher at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics group at ETH Zurich, will talk about asking the right questions about scientific software. As an experienc ...[Read More]
