GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES
SMU Planetary images and animations
from the
NASA Magellan and
Pioneer Venus
data sets and the
Soviet Venera Probe,
including pictures now displayed at the
Smithsonian Museum's Solar System Project in Washington DC. (See
David's homepage for more details.)
1992 and 1996 Chinese Nuclear Blasts
recorded by over 400
USGS
seismic stations world-wide. These data are animated on global maps and
transparent spheres and display the spreading seismic wavefront as it arrives at each station,
following the leading edge of the P phase arrivals as the signal travels around the world.
SMU EarthQuake imagery
and animations generated from
USGS and
ISC seismic records, the
GERESS array, the SMU
TXAR array and the SMU Surface Wave Impulse Generator
deployed by D. Craig Pearson of the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
This set of visualizations explores various methods
of viewing time-dependent seismic signals as objects and sets of objects.
Blasting and industrial
mining practices as seismic sources. Slow-motion video with animated seismic
waveforms and synthetic computer
models of USA and Russian mining blasts, and papers concerning the propagation of
semisic energy from mining blasts.
Brian Stump (SMU),
D. Craig Pearson (LANL),
and Xiaoning Yang (LANL).
Infrasound and Acoustic Signals
Mutiple acoustic and seismic data sets are time aligned with GPS synchronized video and broadband
and high-pass filtered waveforms.
Chris Hayward
(hayward@passion.isem.sm.edu) and Rongmao Zhou
(zho@passion.isem.smu.edu) deployed the instruments
and performed these experiments with
Brian Stump
(stump@passion.isem.smu.edu).
Cool Stuff and nifty animations
by our creative and energetic staff of no particular scientific value.
Includes some nice
RocketCam
and
CameraCar
footage, a link to my
robots
and a link to our latest attempt at a
live video feed.
Also includes a link to the paper,
"
Surviving slashdot'ing with a small server," a description of the web/ftp server
providing these web pages.
