June 26-28 (Monday-Wednesday), 2023.
Topic: GMT Basics, Symbols and lines, Grids and images, Seismology.
- Monday June 26 8:30 AM - 10 AM EST - Time zone converter
- Wednesday June 28 8:30 AM - 10 AM EST - Time zone converter
Topic: Geodesy
- Tuesday June 27 9:00 PM - 10:30 PM EST - Time Zone converter
Where: On-line via zoom.
Planning: Participants must have their own computers (macOS, Windows, or Linux) with the required software already installed (see Installing below).
This course will cover the use of Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) in geodesy using UNIX shell scripting. Lectures and exercises will be given to teach the basic conventions of using GMT, such as plotting grids, images, and vector data (points, lines, polygons, GPS velocities) as well as making animations. Instructors will help participants with processing and mapping of various data sets relevant to geodesy during the office hours.
Participants will need to install some software for the workshop. Please follow these instructions before the workshop.
If you have any trouble installing or questions about the course/homework, there are a few ways to ask for help:
- Open an Issue on this repository by clicking here. You'll need a GitHub account to do this.
- Post to the GMT Community Forum.
The lectures are available on this YouTube playlist. The material for each section is available in the folders in this repository.
Please make sure you know the local time for the sessions! Use the time zone converter provided for each office hour and compare UTC to your time zone. Participants will receive the zoom invitation at least 24 hours before the start of each session. The lectures are available on YouTube one week in advance of the course.
We will use the Slack workspace, the Zoom Chat window, and the GitHub Issue Tracker to help you during the course:
