After much tribulation (I will spare you the embarrassing details), I was finally able to install GMT on a macintosh and figure out the cryptic, yet powerful, GMT commands and options.
 |
| Mississippian tops gridded and displayed using open source GMT software. For well tops there are other tools, but for gridding general (x,y,z) data this is fabulous. |
Might not seem like much, you could probably do it in Petra, Matlab, etc. But how about 1200 electrical conductivity values? No problem, but forget about posting the data values, just points this time.
 |
| About 1200 ground conductivity readings from an EM31 meter. Negative values indicate metal objects in the near surface. Conductivities between 5-20 mSm relate to areas with fresh groundwater. High values (>30) probably represent shallow contamination by a conducting agent. |
