USArray Data Processing Short Course for the Next Generation of Seismologists VI

WELCOME!

1. Goals

2. Background

3. Day to day

4. Computers

5. Themes

6. Thanks


Goals:

• Provide you with exposure to and training in the foundations of robust methods in seismic data processing,

• Address and share opportunities and challenges in USArray data processing,

• Empower and inspire you to become future leaders in developing more effective ways to handle data from large seismic arrays, such as USArray.


Background:• TA Working Group came up with the idea.

• TAWG members Gary Pavlis and Suzan van der Lee applied to NSF to fund a short course for advanced graduate students.

• First short course held in 2009 in MacLab in Northwestern University Library, with enthusiastic support from Bob Woodward.

• Last year (2013) a more introductory short course was added

• You are the critical part of the sixth short course.


Philosophy:

• Hands-on

• Collaboration

Final student projects:


Past Projects:

• Design new processing tools

• Develop manuals & tutorials

• Find and read existing manuals & tutorials; they exist.

• Utilize help functions and unix “man” pages

• Gain experience• Share links & tips with others in

this course

Past Projects:

• Design new processing tools

• Develop manuals & tutorials


Final student projects:

• Process a USArray data set to measure a geophysical quantity.

• Hypocenters, Receiver Functions, Teleseismic Arrival Times, Shear Wave Splitting, for example.

• Push boundaries of processing techniques.

• Feel empowered and inspired to improve techniques.

• Share.


• Some paper: Agenda, project instructions, maps, etc.

• USB drive, name tag, library access card

• Lunch tickets for each day

• Log out at end of day & sit at same iMac next day

• Water fountain opposite elevators

• Water bottles in the back of room


• No food and open drinks in the computer Lab!!

• Breakfasts: Orrington Hotel

• Coffee break: On the (P) level, two stairs up, by the café

• Restrooms: In lower level (L) and on floor 2, by elevators/stairs

• Lunches: Norris Student Center (Tue-Fri)

• Dinners: Mt Everest (today) and Todoroki Hibachi (Thu)


• Short course software: both free and licensed.

• Final project presentations on Friday.

• Project time in this lab after dinner each day until 10 pm and Thursday afternoon.

• Also available: Collaboration Space, South of entrance Hall


• Introductory slides: please address both your data processing flow as well as bottle necks

• Share cabs on Friday

• Two ways to enter/exit

• Questions?


• work locally on /Users/usarray/ … Desktop/USArray_Course

• remember iMac number and work at same one each day in order to have your previous day’s work – or/and save on USB each day!

• raw data (for down-copying only) and e-handouts are on the shared disk /Volumes/USArray or through shared-drive icon on Desktop

• never change anything on /Volumes/USArray (unless specifically asked by an instructor)
