[CIG-SEISMO] seismo-live: seismological training with jupyter notebooks

[Heiner Igel]

Dear Colleagues,

we would like to draw your intention to a new (intended as
community-driven) www-service providing python-based Jupyter notebooks
for training in seismology. The service can be accessed at
http://www.seismo-live.org (currently restricted to 50 users at a time).

Jupyter notebooks (formerly known as ipython notebooks) are interactive
documents combining simple word processing options with executable
python (or other) code parts (see Shen, Nature, 515, 151–152, 2014).
They are ideal for training, developing sample work flows, and
exchanging, sharing codes under development, and making research results
reproducible. On seismo-live a variety of notebooks are now available
fuelled by a server in the background that allows running them with any
www browser.

Currently available categories are:
- Python Introduction
- ObsPy (2-day introductory course)
- Instaseis-syngine (global seismograms in 1D models on the fly)
*- Rotational seismology (data processing)*
- Earthquake physics (rate and state friction toolkit)
- Computational seismology (FD,PS,FE,SE,FV,DG methods for 1D elastic
wave equation, 3D Lamb's problem, 3D DC solution, 1-3D Green's
functions, time reversal, etc.). This is complementary material to a new
computational seismology text book
(http://www.computational-seismology.org).
- Reproducible papers (with the 2016 paper on instaseis-syngine as example)

Most notebooks come with exercises (e.g., blank code sections) and
solutions, ready to be used in courses.

Under development:
- noise analysis
- array seismology
 
Those notebooks should be considered as seeds to further categories. We
invite you to test the www service (and hope that our server can cope,
but extensions are possible and envisaged). We are looking forward to
receiving feedback and suggestions. More info on how to contribute to
the repository are given on the seismo-live www site.

Please visit our poster S23C-2780 at the AGU Fall Meeting 2016:
Tuesday, December 13th; 1:40 PM - 6:00 PM*, *Moscone South; Poster Hall

Kind Regards
