Lindsey Heagy, Joe Capriotti, and the SimPEG team We merged a big pull request into SimPEG this week (#786): over 30,000 lines of code changed! (and now close to 60,000 because we ran black 😉) These changes have been in progress since Summer 2019 and involved input, feedback, contributions, and…

By Lindsey Heagy and Fernando Pérez We are thrilled to announce that the NSF is funding our EarthCube proposal “Jupyter meets the Earth: Enabling discovery in geoscience through interactive computing at scale” (pdf). The team working on this project consists of Fernando Pérez [1, 2, 3], Joe Hamman [4], Laurel…

July 17, 2019 Last week, the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics conference was held in Montreal and the SimPEG team took the opportunity to hold a 1-day meeting for those of us attending. Six of us (Dom Fournier, Doug Oldenburg, Joe Capriotti, Seogi Kang, Thibaut Astic and myself) got…

Nov 16–17 Following DISC Lab day in Buenos Aires, we hopped on a plane and landed in Santiago, Chile late on Tuesday night. By the time we arrived at our airbnb in the heart of Santiago, it was Wednesday. It was a bit eerie arriving so late in an unfamiliar…

This week in SimPEG… Craig Miller, Seogi Kang and Dom Fournier had their paper: Distribution of vapour and condensate in a hydrothermal system: Insights from self-potential inversion at Mount Tongariro, New Zealand, accepted this week! Volcanologists routinely sample fluids from springs and vents on volcanoes to determine that volcano’s state…

This week in SimPEG… Dom has been working on making changes to the SimPEG Regularization for the new formulation of the TreeMesh including add functionality for mesh creation and refinement. The updates are included in pull request #708. This will be the topic of the upcoming SimPEG meeting.

This week in SimPEG… Lindsey Heagy: I have been working on writing up some of the early PhD work I did on estimating the conductivity of a fractured volume of rock for a fracture operation with an electrically conductive proppant (particles used to keep the fractures open) and fluid. We…

Nov 13–14 The morning after DISC Lab in Mexico City, we hopped on a flight to the Southern Hemisphere. Nine hours later, we landed in Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires is a city that is alive with music, tango, and festivals. …
