SEG Student Chapter, IITK

Hello everyone,

SEG chapter is planning to organize a talk on higher education and job opportunities in the US relevant to the field of Earth Sciences by one of our alumni pursuing his higher studies in the US.
But we don’t want it to be a generic presentation. To make this presentation more relevant to the current audience in the department, we have decided to get first-hand from you.
So, If you are interested and looking for opportunities in the US, Kindly post your query and doubts in the below mentioned Google form, or you could post your questions on the Facebook messengers.

Deadline of filing your queries is 31st August, 2019

Higher education and job opportunities in the US relevant to the field of Earth Sciences

IIT Kanpur SEG student chapter is organizing a talk cm tutorial session on Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) as per the schedule mentioned below:

Title: Introduction to the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT)

Speaker: Akhil Mishra

Date & Time: 01August, 2019 (Thursday); 4PM

Venue: ES class room (WL 305)

Abstract: Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) is a set of open-source software package for processing (filtering and other image processing operation), and mapping of spatial data which creates high quality data visualizations (including various map projection), such as contour maps, surface plot and 3D plot. It comes with a comprehensive collection of free GIS data, such as coast lines, bathymetry, rivers, political borders, and coordinates of other geographic objects. Its flexibility at no charge (open source) and high quality output makes it more attractive in recent years. Thus, it is extremely useful to geo-scientists of all discipline dealing with plotting tasks.

Purpose of the present interactive session is to introduce audience with basic GMT commands so that they become familiar with GMT and can utilize in their research work. This Presentation will include description of important GMT commands and how to write and execute them for different cases. Several examples corresponding to different GMT commands will also be presented for better visualization.

About Speaker: Mr. Akhil Mishra is currently working as Senior project associate at the department of Earth Sciences, IIT Kanpur. He has submitted his PhD thesis to NIO-Goa(AcSIR). His research interests include Geodynamics, plate-tectonics, Gravity-magnetic modelling. He has ample experience in working with GMT tools.

Key highlights of Day 4: Lab visits, Schlumberger delegates visited various State of the art laboratories such as Geophysical lab, Geochemistry lab, OSL lab, Sedimentology lab in the Earth Sciences department IIT Kanpur

Schlumberger day organised by ES Society and IITK SEG student chapter supported by Department of Earth Sciences, IIT Kanpur. Key highlights of the Day 1 events are oral presentation, poster presentation and Case study problem( provided by Schlumberger). Case study event was judged by delegates from the Schlumberger and faculty members of the department jointly.
