IT Facilities at the Structural Geology and Earth Resources Program

Our facilities are available to all our staff, students and guests. We concentrate most of them in a research lab. In addition there is a computerized classroom (link) for teaching purposes and general use. Here is functional overview of how we use our equipment.

digitizer: for digitizing interpreted seismic lines available only on paper.
scanner: scanning bore hole logs and seismic sections.
printer: printing seismic sections and presentations

gOcad: construction and interpolation of 3d geometry and 3d material properties (QT movie, 9Mb)
landmark: integrated management and interpretation of seismic data.
imagine: viewing and analyzing of original remote sensing data and elevation data (example).
mapinfo/arcinfo: maintaining and editing of shot point data, bore hole data and cultural data (link with picture).
seisX: importing and printing of 2d and 3d seismic raw data.
logScan: semiautomatic digitizing of scanned bore hole logs (link with scanned log).
gmt: generating high quality maps (specifically earthquake mechanisms).
proj: transforming coordinate systems (geographic - utm).

As we use gOcad as our central application, we developed software which enables additional data formats for gOcad (dxf2gocad, xyz2gocad, s2g, beachball, nodals).
