Machine learning community has come a long way in terms of working with data. In the past, we could have stored everything in RAM and enjoy blazingly fast access to inputs and targets for model training. …

Visualising geological data using Python’s most popular data visualisation library — Radar plots (also known as spider plots or radar charts) are a popular data visualisation tool that allows us to compare datasets by displaying multiple variables simultaneously on a 2-dimensional plot. Each variable is represented by a spoke extending from the plot's centre to the edge, and the magnitude of…

Creating Interactive Maps of UKCS Oil and Gas Field Outlines — Folium is an excellent python library that makes it easy to visualise geospatial data on interactive maps using the power of Leaflet.js. …

Leverage the Power of Python to Explore and Understand Your Data — Ensuring data is of good quality before running machine learning models is essential. If we feed poor-quality data to these models, we may end up with unexpected or unintended consequences. However, carrying out the prep work on data and trying to understand what you have or don’t have is very…

Prepared by: Valentina Delconte (OpenGeoHub), Alexander Wowra (Vizzuality), Diego de la Vega (CREAF) How far have women come and what’s left to reach gender parity as we celebrate the eighth International Day of Women and Girls in Science? We asked Sofía Aldabet, data scientist at Vizzuality; Xuemeng Tian, PhD candidate…

A Great Alternative to Pie Charts for Data Visualisation — Waffle charts are a great way to visualise categorical data, are aesthetically pleasing and easy for readers to understand — which is one of the key goals of effective data visualisations. They also provide a nicer looking alternative to pie charts. Waffle charts are square or rectangular displays made up…

Exploring Log ASCII Standard files using Python and Streamlit — LAS files are standard and simple ways to transfer and store well-log and/or petrophysical data within the oil and gas industry. The format was developed in the late 80s and early 90s by the Canadian Well Logging Society as a way to standardise and organise digital log information. …

Microseismic monitoring is a method for analyzing the geometry of cracks in the earth’s crust. Finding the precise location of the crack source is one of the crucial jobs. What kind of data is used? The data can be described as follows: sensors positioned on the ground detect P and S waves coming from the crack’s…

Scientists leading the Geology studies suspect the Earth possess a solid metal core consisting of mostly iron and nickel, being the size as Pluto and as hot as Sun’s surface is starting moving “against us”. Iron Ball 1,520 miles long Exactly how the core rotates has been subject of relevant papers, controversy and disputes between…
