SciPy and 3D seismics

摘要

Speaking at the 2014 SciPy1 conference in Austin, TX this month, Joe Kington (now with Chevron) performed a geophysical fireworks display using nothing other than open source Python code. As a part of his PhD project at the University of Wisconsin, Kington was studying sedimentation and tectonics in the Nankai Trough, Japan. Kington found that the software used on interpretation workstations lacked the ability to produce display quality vector graphics for publication. Moreover, industry standard workstations are 'walled gardens' and it is hard to get data out into plotting or other data manipulation environments such as Python.
