So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Friday. 3.30.07 12:32 am Oh it was so cool today, I was talking to my professor about how we're going to try to use inverse theory to figure out the shapes of magnetized blocks along the East Pacific spreading center. Technical paragraph:::: It's an interesting process, because the topography on the sea floor affects the shape of the magnetic anomalies (if a mountain range gets built, it brings the magnetized part of the earth's crust closer to your sensor, so you record it as being stronger, even though it's only closer. So you have to take that into account when you're doing your calculations. But then the questions is, "how do we translate the ocean floor, with all of its random hills and mountains and ridges, into a mathematical equation?" It's pretty cool, you do a Fourier transform. This consists of taking a whole bunch of sine equations (think about this like you would a slinky held between two people. If you move up and down very slowly, you get one large U- that's the lowest order of wave. Then if you move the slinky a little faster you get an S lying on its side. This is a higher order. You can keep going until you get one and a half S's, maybe even two, if the slinky is long enough and you are good at it. Theoretically you can have as many S's as you want. If you look at pictures of them all lined up, you'll see that the peaks and troughs of the lines don't really line up. So if you added them all together, you'd get this kind of uneven look, like a heart beat or something.) So what you end up doing is that you add all of the different orders of curve together, and you weight each of them differently (because frequencies that seem to match a lot of your ridges or peaks should be given more importance in describing them mathematically) until you come up with a mathmatical equation that makes all these sine and cosine curves added together match what your random-looking topography looks like. :::end technical paragraph Anyway, he was lamenting that we don't have any interactive software where we could sit there and pick out where we thought the boundaries between the blocks were and know immediately their latitudes and longitudes. I said, "Why don't you put them into ArcMap?" He doesn't ever use ArcMap for anything. I say I think it's possible. Haha, he says maybe my skills will be useful in this project. Haha! I have skills, who knew? Geomorphologists who stare at pictures all day! When Don asked if I could make pretty diagrams and I said that I could, his eyes lit up like it was Christmas. And so it's late afternoon already but I get Robert to ssh into his computer and transfer the data, which consist of latitude and longitudes associated with different depths below sea level, which I sftp onto my windows machine. Then I get it all into ArcMap with the help of Caleb and Jay and I project the bathymetry. Then I decided to put it into 3-D, just for fun. Then I fly through the 3-D virtual ocean floor that I've just made and take screen captures which I send as simple files to Don, with the message, "Look, Don, the sea-floor." He sends me back only a set of four huge red exclamation marks. 1 Comments. |
