In this study, using one-minute definitive data published by a number of INTERMAGNET observatories, we apply a number of timeand frequency-domain techniques to characterise the global, natural geomagnetic signal and isolate the artificial noise at an individual observatory. With the aim of developing an analytical tool that can be used to identify observatory noise against the natural signal, w...

2. OBSERVATORY PROCESSES The JISC Observatory provides horizon-scanning of technological developments which may be of relevant for the UK’s higher and further education sectors. The JISC Observatory team has developed systematic processes for the scanning, sense-making and synthesis activities for the work. This paper summarises the JISC Observatory work and related activities carried out by th...

Inversion of seismic data to rock properties is not a new method, however there are a wide variety of methodologies available one can use to achieve those estimates. The number of potential AVO equations one has access to now exceeds what many would consider useful. The problem then becomes, which of the several methods should be applied, given a specific exploration or development goal? While ...

Networked Virtual Organizations (NVOs) are a right answer to challenges of globalized, diversified, and dynamic contemporary economy. NVOs need more than e-trade and outsourcing, namely, they need out-tasking and e-collaboration. To out-task, but retain control on the way a task is performed by an external partner, two integrations are required: (1) integration of computer management systems of...
