For those of you who do not already know the two Springer books, here is a summary of the books, the available editions, the electronic supplement and errata files.
TopoToolbox
Here is one of my most favorite MATLAB-based earth science toolboxes: the TopoToolbox by Wolfgang Schwanghart. TopoToolbox is a program for the analysis of digital elevation models (DEMs). It’s free and open source (as long as you have MATLAB).
MRES Chinese Edition
The website, which went online on Friday, obviously has a lot of Chinese readers for whom this information may be interesting: there is the 3rd edition of MRES in Chinese translation! Parick Chen (陈青), Rights and Permissions Manager at the Springer Beijing Representative Office, helped us to get this published. The Chinese publisher is National Defense Industry Press, Chinese ISBN: 978-7-118-10090-7. Thanks, Parick, for your great help with this!
About the Book Cover
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.
MATLAB® and LEGO® MINDSTORMS®
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.
MRES Exercise #4 Three-Dimensional Maps
This exercise is intended to help students to understand how to create maps from three-dimensional data.
MRES Exercise #3 Cycles and Filters
This exercise is intended to help students to understand how to detect cycles in a time series and design filters to eliminate individual cycles.
MRES Exercise #2 Uni- and Bivariate Statistics
This exercise is intended to help students to understand how to calculate basic statistical characteristics of a time series.
