MATLAB and Python Recipes for Earth Sciences

Some people asked me where the photo on the cover of the 4th edition of the MRES book was taken. Here is the story about it.

I am currently working on a MATLAB/LEGO® MINDSTORMS® course for undergraduate and graduate students, aiming to improve their 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.
This exercise is intended to help students to understand how to create maps from three-dimensional data.
This exercise is intended to help students to understand how to detect cycles in a time series and design filters to eliminate individual cycles.
This exercise is intended to help students to understand how to calculate basic statistical characteristics of a time series.

The Errata File lists the known errors in the 4th edition of MATLAB Recipes for Earth Sciences (Springer 2015). 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!

This exercise is intended to help students to understand advanced plotting with MATLAB.

I will teach two shortcourses on the MRES book in Potsdam this year. The spring courses will be held between 27 February and 3 March 2017 (in English, link to registration) and 3 and 7 April 2017 (in German, link to registration). The course introduces methods of data analysis in earth and environmental sciences using MATLAB, one of the leading software packages for the solution of mathematical problems.
