Developing a Quantitative Scale for Anisotropy in Earth Science Measurements
Data & AnalysisAnisotropy is a property of a material or medium that exhibits different physical properties depending on the direction of measurement. In geoscience measurements, anisotropy can have a significant impact on the interpretation of the data. For example, the anisotropy of seismic waves can provide important information about the subsurface structure of the Earth. However, the

Quantitative Comparison of Seismic Waveform Data Using Spectral Analysis in Earth Science
Data & AnalysisSeismic waveform data is collected from the vibrations that occur in the Earth’s crust. This data is used to study the Earth’s structure, locate oil and gas deposits, and monitor for earthquakes. However, in order to properly interpret and analyze seismic waveform data, it is important to be able to compare two different data sets.

Assessing the Representation of Parallel Sided Slab on Slope Glacier: A Data Analysis of West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide
Data & AnalysisGlaciers play a critical role in the Earth’s climate system by storing and releasing freshwater, regulating sea level, and influencing ocean circulation. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is particularly important because it contains enough ice to raise global sea levels by more than 3 meters. The WAIS is divided into several sub-regions, one of
