Acknowledgements

The material related to inversion in this collection represents the accumulation of many years of research and the dedication and enthusiasm of students, post doctoral fellows and research associates at the UBC-GIF. In particular we thank Roman Shekhtman (the programmer at UBC-GIF for the last 15 years) for creating the DCIP2D, MAG3D, and GRAV3D and associated utility codes provided in this package. The quality of codes, visualization software, and GUI interfaces are the result of his dedication and extraordinary programming capabilities. Below we provide a more detailed breakdown about the contributions of various researchers.

  • Roman Shekhtman
    • Wrote the Java applets,
    • Generally, all developmental research codes are written in MatLab. Mr. Shekhtman contributed towards development of some of those research algorithms, and converted all codes to Fortan for distribution to sponsors, academic collaborators, and for commercial companies. Educational versions of some of these codes are provided in this resource package.
    • All graphical user interface programs (GUIs) were designed and written by Mr. Shektman.
  • Students, Postdoctoral fellows and Research Associates ("presently", used below, means June 2009).
    • Prof. Yaoguo Li (presently at Colorado School of Mines) – (PhD student, postdoctoral fellow and Research Associate). He was the principle developer for initial versions of MAG3D, GRAV3D, and DCIP3D
    • Peter McGillivray (presently at Shell Oil) (PhD student). Developed our first finite volume modeling and inversion code for 2D DC resistivity. (Some of this was later integrated into DCIP2D.)
    • Prof. E. Haber (Associate Professor, EOS) – Research into inversion theory and inversion of electromagnetic methods.
    • Nigel Phillips (presently at AGIC Vancouver ) (MSc and Research Associate) - Applications research, especially related to the San Nicolas project;
    • Rob Eso – (PhD, in progress) Enhancement of 2D and 3D DC resistivity and IP methods, and development of many eosc454 exercises.
    • Scott Napier – (MSc) (presently at Lundin Mining) 1D inversion of TEM data at San Nicolas.
