4th Feb
Lecture by: Dr. Steve Barrett, University of
Liverpool. - Image analysis in Earth
ScienceTitle: Image Analysis in Earth
Sciences
Description:
This talk gives an overview of how microscope images can be
processed and analysed to provide
information about a wide range of
materials, including geomaterials. The talk
starts by discussing imaging in general,
highlighting some of the difficulties
encountered when interpreting images.
Then a short introduction to the nature of
light shows how specialist microscopes can
be used to reveal the crystalline structure
of rocks.
Short biog:
As a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Physics,
Steve’s research interests span all aspects
of imaging, image processing and image
analysis. This includes medical imaging
(biophysics), scanning probe microscopy of
atoms, molecules and surfaces
(nanophysics), microscopy of earth
materials (geophysics) and
astrophotography
