Pictures of Ohio, and travel home

I just thought that I would ad some more pictures.  

Columbus Ohio LDS Temple

This picture is in Columbus, Ohio. I got to travel up there with a couple of people from the Oxford area. 

Miami University Ohio

Miami University Campus. This bell tower would play music about every half hour. 

Figures

Well, I have been able to get some figures made, though they are not the best. One problem that I came across in GMT is that when I do a post script file the title gets cut off. Also, on the histogram that I have done the x-axis label was being placed on the y-axis when it should have been the other way around. It was labeling the figure correctly when I first made the script, but for some odd reason the script no longer labels it correctly. I have since used Power Point to help make my figure, and to point out some of the interesting observations.

Update

Sorry for the delay in my posts. I have been trying to get the data processing for nine months done; locate nine months worth of earthquakes. I am just about done. I hope to finish by tomorrow, afterwards I will work on a figure to illustrate what work I have done this summer. I have a GRE on Thursday the 14th of August, and though I still need to study I will try to get a quick abstract draft done before then, if not I will be working on getting the poster and abstract done before the 25th of August, my first day of classes.

Picture Travel Log

Here is a picture travel log of my internship so far.

Even though I have flown before, I still love beaty of the earth from the plane. The Rocky Mountains and clouds are beautiful from 35,000 ft!

The Rockies from 35000 ft.

Mike Brudzinski, my host, along with Hector, Devin, and Chris retrieve data from the FACES network in the Pacific Northwest. This particular sight is in Washington.

Antelope

Antelope is coming along well. I have figured out the basics, and I have caught some of its weaknesses. It crashes on me a lot when I delete bad picks. Antelope likes to pick the s-wave arrivals on the vertical component when it could easily pick them on horizontal components, and it also misses some locatable events. I have gone through almost two months worth of data, ~700 events, and now I have to go back through more than half of that to look for events that Antelope has missed. I should finish about three months of data by July 7th or 8th.
