Summary

This repository contains the notebooks and tutorial resources for the Magnetotelluric (MT) Instrumentation and Data Processing Short Course - through Day 2-Day 4:

• Day 2: MT Data, Data Formats, Software, & Data Processing
• Day 3: MT Dataset Explorations
• Day 4: MT inversions and Earth Models.

This set of tutorials focus on providing hands-on examples of downloading, processing, visualzing, and inverting MT data.

Prerequisites

Software

• Some knowledge of Python is assumed.
• All coding will be done in Jupyter notebooks. I'll explain how they work briefly but it will help if you've used them before.
• We will use numpy, matplotlib, and ipywidgets You don't need to be an expert in these tools but some familiarity will help.
