I-COOL - International Coalition of Ocean Observing Laboratories

It's no secret that my background is in marine geophysics. Last week at the annual meeting of AGU (American Geophysical Union), I remembered seeing some very cool plots recently, some from MATLAB. I tracked them back to I-COOL where there are a bunch of projects, such as the Atlantic Crossing, many involving undergraduates for their first forays into research, and the excitement they encounter.

Are you working on a research project either as an undergrad or with one, using MATLAB? Please post your story and website here.

    I’m using MatLab to analyse the subject head movement during functional MRI scans. I did this for my MSc in Biomedical imagiing and I’m now using it to develop my project so that it’s suitable for publishing (hopefully!)

    I am also from geophysics, and use matlab for figures. I’ve made this package which makes very nice figures:

    Usually there are lots of people at AGU that have used it, but i also see stuff from completely different fields such as medicine.

    Thanks for sharing! Best wishes to you both.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
