Signal processing and earthquake triggering part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:Teaching with MATLAB 2015:Teaching Activities
Jackie Caplan-Auerbach, Western Washington University
In this exercise, written for an undergraduate seismology class, students use MATLAB to analyze waveforms from the 2004 Sumatra M9.0 earthquake, as they were recorded on three seismic stations in Alaska. Two of ...

Working with Spatial Data in MATLAB part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2020:Activities
Andrew Fischer, university of tasmania
Students are introduced to two spatial data models, vector and raster. By the end of this activity, students will be able to describe the two different data models and create, import and visualize various spatial ...

Calculating and using Unit Hydrograph using Matlab part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2018:Activities
Negin Hayatbini, University of California-Irvine; Alexandre Martinez, University of California-Irvine
We are using the concept of Unit Hydrograph to understand the behavior of a watershed following a rain event and to calculate the runoff following any rainfall event.
