Interested in some help learning to memorize poems? I prepared some examples and software to enable you to adapt it to your own favorite poem.
Iceland! An amazing trip. A few fabulous slides.
A libertarian socialist engineer's proposal to solve the financial crisis: Let me know what you think.
I've been wondering if Tar Sands would save life as we know it today.
I've prepared a tutorial on the basic algebra behind oil crisis extrapolations.

My retirement party in Alaska, the final program
On the occasion of my retirement, my speech to local staff
Apple's iPhoto, I abandon with prejudice
In the interest of optimally compartmenting the School of Earth Science, I gave out a questionairre to members of the Stanford Earth Science Faculty to identify colleagues closest to them in curriculum. Results were input to a "banquet seating" optimization program.
Here is How the Iraqi's can end their civil war. I've written it in basic English, easily translated.
Here is my tease for theoretical seismologists.
I tried google made-web pages. Here it is.
I've started on a history of reproducible research.
I've written a book review on a book by Mathew R. Simmons about the decline of Saudi Oil fields.
Bob Clapp and I have been examining the Miyagi earthquake.
Students and I struggled with data from a depth sounding survey of the biblical Sea of Galilee. It's gratifying to learn our result .jpg makes a genuine contribution.
Quite by accident I took some nice pictures of Sea Dragons, and another at the Monterey aquarium.
Garry Clarke came visiting with some fabulous pictures of the Donjuk Glacier. I got him started on a picture web site. Enjoy!
I prepared my first power-point talk explaining our research to some Petroleum Engineers.
Graduation pictures from 6/2004.
Noontime rainbows? See my sun dog pictures.
I purchased a Belkin microphone to attach to my iPod. The results are lousy! Here is an example. Don't purchase a Belkin microphone for your iPod!
This is a quicktime movie that I made linking astronomy to seismology. (13 min, 40Mb)
This is a quicktime movie of people having fun at the last SEP meeting. (8min, 20Mb)
I'm working on presenting pictures of Cecil Green's trips to Arabia.
I enjoyed a small journey with the Crustal Group.
I'm trying to recover a rare seismic data set.
Ever wondered about acoustic daylight imaging? Here is a quick introduction .
This picture explains (fantastic!) the relation between 1-D and 2-D filtering. To filter, you screw the filter onto the data. Convolution in 1-D does convolution in 2-D. Deconvolution in 1-D does deconvolution in 2-D. Likewise for spectral factorization, etc. Makes a great preconditioner for inversion. Rapidly solves [1+Dxx+Dyy]u=v. The entire "Helix" paper (16 pages of .ps) or html.

I recently discovered how to factor cross-spectra. html, .ps. This is a generalization of spectral factorization.
Frog pond in Fortran (ratfor) or with Hot Java!.
Care to join in building a large geophone array? I have lined up $50,000 to start.
After dinner speech: Seventeen years of supercomputing and other problems.
Publications or report articles (full text) or How to write an introduction.
In my youth, I puttered with earthquake and nuclear explosion data, but then I found reflection seismology was more fun because the theory more often works. Not to say that the earthquake people do not make interesting discoveries. [ link, ]
