The talk was titled An interactive work\x1bow for MT data using open-source packages and HPC. Jared and Karl presented a work\x1bow for MT data that demonstrated how to use existing open-source software packages to go from raw data to a 3D resistivity model. This work\x1bow increases the capacity of MT data to be used for open science following FAIR principles.Wenping Jiangactpresident@aseg.org.au James explaining the Geophysics in the Park to the NSW Branch.New South WalesIn September, Dr James Daniell, Senior Geophysicist at Fender Geophysics, presented a talk entitled Geophysics in the Park: How can industry support geophysics education?. Geophysics in the Park, organised by Fender Geophysics, had its inaugural session in Trunks Park, Cremorne. The attendees were primarily students who deployed, acquired, and processed electrical resistivity imaging and seismic refraction. James presentation gave the geophysics community some helpful insight into a great idea, and there was some noteworthy discussion on ideas in the future to foster students and the communitys interest in geophysics.In October, Peigen Luo, a PhD candidate at The University of New South Wales (UNSW), presented a talk entitled Continental fragment collision in subduction and the dramatic upliftPeigen discussing topography feedbacks with the NSW Branch.acceleration in the eastern Anatolian Region.
