Dino-killing asteroid also triggered mind-blowing submarine landslides

Dino-killing asteroid also triggered mind-blowing submarine landslides | Complex Insight  - Understanding our world | Scoop.it
Huge deposits identified in Gulf of Mexico and beyond.
Phillip Trotter's insight:

Arsttechnica article describing research published in Geology where researchers used publicly available data from 33 deep wells drilled by the oil and gas industry in the Gulf of Mexico combined  with seismic images of the region to identify massive Seafloor 'landslides' which occured as the result of the Chicxulub impact. The asteroid impact which ended the reign of the dinasaurs shook loose sediment along well over 2,000 miles of submarine slopes along the east coast of the United States as well as the Gulf of Mexico. Link to the orginal Geology paper at the end of the article.

Dynamical Processes on Complex Networks (by Alain Barrat, Marc Barthélemy, Alessandro Vespignani)

Dynamical Processes on Complex Networks

~ Alessandro Vespignani (author) More about this product
Price: $60.00

The availability of large data sets have allowed researchers to uncover complex properties such as large scale fluctuations and heterogeneities in many networks which have lead to the breakdown of standard theoretical frameworks and models. Until recently these systems were considered as haphazard sets of points and connections. Recent advances have generated a vigorous research effort in understanding the effect of complex connectivity patterns on dynamical phenomena. For example, a vast number of everyday systems, from the brain to ecosystems, power grids and the Internet, can be represented as large complex networks. This new and recent account presents a comprehensive explanation of these effects.

A list of free educational resources for data scientists and budding data scientists, including groups, courses, and books.
Phillip Trotter's insight:

Great set of links to useful data science resources including statistics, data analysis, machine learning, nueral nets (always a favourite) as well as free data science books coverinb Bayesian and Gaussian processes for machine learning. Worth bookmarking.
