Cleaning up the Office: MATLAB 4.2c.1 (1995)
As I cleaned up my office, I found old MATLAB floppy disks and manuals! These are not the oldest ones I used, which was a MATLAB demo I got from a friend at Christmas time in 1992. Continue reading “Cleaning up the Office: MATLAB 4.2c.1 (1995)”
Presentation of the MATLAB/LEGO MINDSTORMS Practical on the Day of Teaching at U Potsdam
On the Day of Teaching at U Potsdam I will give a talk about the MATLAB/LEGO MINDSTORMS practical, sponsored by MathWorks Inc. The practical, part of the master’s courses “Geosciences” and “Remote Sensing, geoInformation and Visualization“, as well as of the Summer School on Earth Surface Dynamics, aims to improve student’s skills to build efficient teams to solve typical problems in earth sciences in acquiring, processing and analyzing typical multispectral (visible, infrared, thermal), geophysical (seismic, magnetic) and geometric (2D, 3D) data.
Comment on “Young Researchers Better Avoid EGU Journal Climate of the Past”
I am one of the 4 Chief Editors of the journal Climate of the Past (CP) which is referred to in the article by Martin Trauth. I would like to thank Professor Trauth for his courtesy in letting me explain the publication system of CP so that young researchers can decide for themselves whether it is for them or not.

Young Researchers Better Avoid EGU Journal Climate of the Past
Years ago my former doctoral student submitted a manuscript to the open access/open review EGU journal Climate of the Past. The manuscript about past climate variations in southern Ethiopia undoubtedly had its weaknesses and received negative reviews – and got rejected by editor Martin Claussen. Unfortunately, the rejected article along with reviews remains visible online at the CoP webpage and since then inspires reviewers of follow-up manuscripts submitted to other journals.

Display the MRES Blog Statistics using the new geobubble Function with MATLAB
The new release R2017b of MATLAB has a nice way of visualizing data values at specific geographic locations. Here I use the new geobubble function to display the statistics of the MRES blog. Continue reading “Display the MRES Blog Statistics using the new geobubble Function with MATLAB”
