Tectonics and Sedimentation Lab

Dr. Terry Kato and I have a lab in the Physical Sciences building in room 116 called the Tectonics and Sedimentation lab. It houses a petrographic microscope with full digital photographic capabilities and a dedicated computer. The lab also has a HP xw8400 workstation (dual Xeon processors, 3.00 GHz, 16GB RAM, 1GB graphics video card) with two 30" LCD monitors. The workstation will be used mainly for seismic-related software awarded by Landmark Graphics Corporation (e.g. OpenWorks, SeisWorks, GeoProbe, etc.).

Other software grants include: Petrel (from Schlumberger), Petra (from IHS), Terrain Navigator Pro (MapTech). All of these will be used for both teaching exercises and research purposes.
