This week scientists from the Chew Bahir project will meet in the Virtual Space to discuss the latest results of the 290 m long ICDP cores from S Ethiopia. Continue reading “Seventh Chew Bahir Drilling Project Workshop in the Virtual Space”
PRES 1st Edition Errata File
This is the Errata File for Python Recipes for Earth Sciences (Springer 2022). The authors apologize for these errors, which were unintentional. The file is constantly updated on this webpage.
Please let me know if you find any mistakes, misunderstandings in the text, or general suggestions for additions and extensions. No book is as good as its next edition!
New Book “Python Recipes for Earth Sciences” (Springer 2022)
I just published a new textbook “Python Recipes for Earth Sciences” with Springer. After several books based on the MATLAB programming environment, I now present a book on data analysis with Python.

Collaborative Coding with Git and MATLAB Projects
In many projects it is necessary to share the result of programming work with other colleagues – or to work together on these projects. In the MRDAES book, Chapter 2.8.5 describes how to collaborate on MATLAB projects with collaborators with four different levels of MATLAB skills: (1) no software installed and no experience with MATLAB, (2) software installed but only limited MATLAB skills, and (3) software installed and good MATLAB skills. Below you find an update of this chapter, which now also includes using (4) MATLAB Projects to organize and collaborate on large programming projects together with Git, the most popular version control system for programming projects.

Principal Component Analysis in 6 Steps – the Python Version
The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is equivalent to fitting an n-dimensional ellipsoid to the data, where the eigenvectors of the covariance matrix of the data set are the axes of the ellipsoid. The eigenvalues represent the distribution of the variance among each of the eigenvectors. To understand the method, it is helpful to know something about matrix algebra, eigenvectors, and eigenvalues. Here is a n=2 dimensional example to perform a PCA without the use of the NumPy function pca, but with the function of eig for the calculation of eigenvectors and eigenvalues. Continue reading “Principal Component Analysis in 6 Steps – the Python Version”
MATLAB and Python Recipes for Earth Sciences
Soon, the popular book MATLAB Recipes for Earth Sciences (MRES) will be available in a version for Python (PRES). You can then put both books side by side, like a dictionary, MATLAB to Python and back. Continue reading “MATLAB and Python Recipes for Earth Sciences”
