SEG Working Workshop - Python and Julia for Geophysics - August 8-11, 2018

Working Workshops as opposed to "talking workshops" are meetings where the participants work in small teams to develop new software code or to conduct computational experiments addressing a particular problem. This workshop asks participants to create small groups to identify and address obstacles to more widespread use of Python and Julia in the geophysical community. Results will be shared in lighting talks and code repositories.

Objective

Python and Julia are good languages for prototyping and applying selected processing. Lack of good examples that read geophysical data, interface to legacy processing systems, and implement common algorithms are obstacles to more widespread use of these languages in the geophysical community. The objective of this working workshop is to identify and address these obstacles and promote more widespread use of the languages.

Participants brough their own laptops and formed small groups. These groups picked projects and started to make examples of geophysical applications written in Python and Julia. About once a day we all checked in to talk about progress. Sometimes participants collaborated with different groups. After two and a half days we shared results in a lightning talks (five minute presentations). I think everyone left the workshop with some new skills, ideas, and acquaintances.

The working workshop provided a forum for geophysicist to learn, contribute, and network.
