DataTas Seminar Series

DaSH Meeting on 27 January – LaTeX
Hi DaSHers,
This Friday Tom Remenyi will be talking about the use of LaTeX, which is a system that has been around so long it can be very hard to use if you weren’t born when the command line was state of the art. Tom has produced a guide to getting started with LaTeX for the modern user.
LaTeX is a document preparation system and a document markup language:

There is also a reasonably famous “not so short” introduction to LaTeX here:

DaSH Seminar for December 18
Hi DaSHers,
Tomorrow DaSH is going to try something a bit different: competitive live coding. OK, maybe I am getting a bit carried away, so let me explain. After last week’s session a few DaSH regulars got talking and decided it would be interesting to compare different techniques for performing common data analysis tasks in different languages, and what better way to do this than under pressure in front of a live studio audience. As such Rob Johnson will be turning up tomorrow with a time series of ocean colour from the Southern Ocean in netCDF format. Those present who are up for the challenge will have 15minutes to process the data and produce output in the most presentable format they can muster. All present will then compare the output produced and examine the different coding techniques used to produce that output. Should be fun and hopefully instructive to all present (whether an experienced analyst or not).

Also:
Obviously Christmas is next week, so DaSH will be taking a bit of a break. After that I am off on an adventure on the high seas as part of the K-Axis marine science voyage. In my absence Tom and Mike will be steering the DaSH ship. Expect DaSH Sessions to be starting up again in late January.

DaSH Session for December 11
Hi DaSHers,
Tomorrow morning Pearce Buchanan an dI will be extolling the virtues of Ferrety for exploring and analysing netcdf files. Ferret is a simple program that installs on most platforms and gives easy access to netCDF files and a number of powerful options for analysing and displaying output.
And as always, if you have any data science related issues then bring them along and we can discuss them and hopefully solve your problems.

No DaSH on November 27
Hi DaSHers,
Due to a combination of factors (ie people being unavailable) there will be no DaSH this week. There are still a few weeks to go before Christmas, and we hope to have a few good sessions before then.

DaSH Session for November 13
Hi DaSHers
Tomorrow is Friday the 13th, but such clunky superstitions can’t stop DaSH. Tomorrow morning we will be having a DaSH question and answer session. Come along if you have any questions or concerns about using R, Matlab, python or other data science related program, or you want to know more about using the unix shell or GIT. in fact bring any question you have that is related to data science. We will have experts in the room who can hopefully answer your questions, and if not, then they will be able to work with you to find the answers.
Stuart
ALSO
Next week Pearse Buchanan and Eric Oliver will be starting up an introductory course on python titled “Python for Oceanographers”.
The sessions will be weekly and will run for 9 weeks. Each week, they will be talking through one chapter from the book “A Hands-On Introduction to Using Python in the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences”. This book is freely available for download from the following link: http://www.johnny-lin.com/pyintro/
The first session will begin on Tuesday 17 November at 1pm in the Rori Flex Room and will involve a quick briefing about the book, led by Eric Oliver. This first session will be coding free because we want to find out what it is that YOU want to learn. What do YOU want to use Python for?
If you are interested, please email pearse.buchanan@utas.edu.au so that they can gauge numbers.

A couple of DaSH relevant seminars
|
Hi DaSHers, I have just received notice of a couple of Matlab webinars that are on this week. If anyone would like to attend I am pretty sure you just click on the link and subscribe. Stuart From: Roland Warner <roland.warner@utas.edu.au> Date: Tuesday, 3 November 2015 at 7:28 AM To: Stuart Corney <Stuart.Corney@utas.edu.au> Subject: FW: Upcoming MATLAB Webinars
Stuart I don’t know if lots of people get MATLAB emails – I just got this one today so it’s rather short notice, but perhaps a few DaSHERs might be interested in the first two of these MATLAB webinars – (more details below)
And
I deleted the hyperlinks in the original email since they all had tracking IDs that probably point to me, so people should go to the website: https://au.mathworks.com/index.html and select Events to sign up. Cheers

DaSH Session for October 30
Hi DaSHers,
After a quiet few weeks for DaSH (I have been dashing, but in a different way) we have Tom Remenyi from ACECRC lined up to lead a session next week. Tom will be telling us stuff about figures, mostly cool tricks he has learnt from his recent work. Tom will be giving examples in R, but the lessons should be broadly applicable to Matlab and other programming languages as well.
Stuart
ALSO
We have had a request for a session on LaTeX that we will do in the next couple of weeks. If you are a LaTeX user then come along and share your knowledge, or expand it. If you have not used LaTeX then shame on you: come along and find out about what you have been missing in the document preparation space.
When:
Friday October 30, 9:15 am

Rori Flex Room, IMAS Building, Castray Esplanade
No DaSH this week
Hi DaSHers,
No DaSH this week as the IMAS honour students are giving their introductory seminars in the flex room tomorrow morning. Instead I would encourage everyone to go along and see what the next generation of researchers are up to. Even more exciting is the final seminars for the January intake of honours students that are on right now in the flex room.
See you next week.

Files from Jo’s talk
Hi DaSHers,
Jo Whittaker has sent me the pdf of her slides, along with the shell script she ran to generate the figure and the line and point files. I have uploaded these files as a zip archive (that has been cunningly renamed as a pdf file to allow me to upload to wordpress, just removed the .pdf from the file and upzip it as normal).
If you want to recreate Jo’s figure then install GMT on your machine, unzip the archive and run the .sh file. You will also need the bathymetry, which can be downloaded from https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/global/global.html (and is about 900 Mb). If I can get this on to a local drive I will do so in the coming weeks.
Finally, if you want to use Gplates for visualising/convertign things, then you can get it from http://www.gplates.org/.
Here is the zip archiive: Archive.zip
