In an article published in Quaternary Geochronology (Trauth, 2014), I introduced a new method for modeling complex stratigraphic sequences. I would like to explain at this point what the result of the modeling is, and what it is not. The age models of fluvio-lacustrine sedimentary sequences are often subject of discussions in paleoclimate research. The techniques employed to ..read more

Sediment data is typically display in diagrams with two axes, a core depth axis and an age axis. Here is a MATLAB script to convert depths into ages and display a sediment parameter in a diagram with both age and depth axis. First, we create a synthetic data set of a sine wave with a ..read more

Following the latest political developments and the involvement of the operator of X (formerly known as Twitter), there is a veritable exodus from X to Bluesky. Please follow me there at @martinhtrauth.bsky.social and please also note the very, very well-put together Bluesky starter pack for Quaternary Scientists, put together by Christine Lane from the University ..read more

Palynologists traditionally use the software Tilia by late Eric Grimm to plot their data, which is also used by micropaleontologists. Here is a MATLAB script to create a diagram that is similar to the typical Tilia graphics. The history of the development of my script goes back a few years, when a doctoral student asked ..read more

Cluster analysis creates groups of objects that are very similar to one another compared with other individual objects or groups of objects. The aim of the method is to gain insights into the structure of a data set without predefining categories and therefore cluster analysis is a method of unsupervised learning. In earth sciences, the ..read more

More than 30 years ago, I began teaching compact courses on data analysis in the earth sciences. 20 years ago, I started thinking about writing textbooks. Now there are six textbooks and many different course formats for you. Here is an overview of the current options! It all started more than 30 years ago when ..read more

Shortly after this blog went online, I wrote down a short history of the MATLAB Recipes for Earth Sciences (MRES) book. Here is an update, just before the 6th edition is published. It is now exactly 20 years since I met the late Wolfgang Engel from Springer on the fringes of the AGU conference in ..read more
