The Generic Mapping Tools for Geodesy
Material for the 2019 UNAVCO Short Course.
Instructors: Paul Wessel, Joaquim Luis, Leonardo Uieda, Dongdong Tian, Xiaohua Xu
When: July 22-23 (Monday-Tuesday), 2019. 9:00 am - 5:00 pm (beach time 5-6 pm)
Where: Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA
Bring: Participants must bring their own computers (Mac, Windows, or Linux) with the required software already installed (see Installing below).
This 2-day 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). Labs will include both processing and mapping of various data sets relevant to geodesy.
Installing
Participants will need to install some software for the workshop. Please follow these instructions before the workshop.
