Seismic lab (Signehamna)#

Following this course remotely?

The following content deals with the Signehamna data lab facilities at UNIS. It may therefore be skipped when taking part in this course remotely and independently.

Welcome to the Seismic Lab in the Arctic Geology corridor - also known as Signehamna. The Signehamna seismic data lab is equipped with powerful and expensive terminals. Specialised licensed software such as SLB Petrel, Agisoft Metashape, Blender, GIS, and Lime is installed that is optimised for (big) data processing. Furthermore, confidential data is present that warrants physical restrictions on access to the room.

The use of Signehamna is therefore primarily reserved for Arctic Geology staff and graduate students conducting research, or for UNIS courses requiring specific software. Other users are requested to use the UNIS computer labs. Signehamna also hosts the hand-sample lightbox suitable for hand-sample SfM photogrammetry.
