Notion for Academic Research Management

Manage your research, notes and academic references all in one place with Notion Being an avid researcher with several scientific conference publications, a journal article and numerous Medium articles, I am often faced with mountains of scientific papers to read and review. Even though many researchers use Mendeley, Zotero and other research paper managers, these platforms

Public Datasets for Machine Learning in Geoscience

The best open source geoscience datasets for applying data science, machine learning and petrophysical techniques For many years well logging and petrophysics datasets have remained locked up in oil and gas company servers or government servers and has only been accessible to those people who have the right access privileges. However, in recent years there

Enhance Your Plotly Express Scatter Plot With Marginal Plots

Scatter plots are a commonly used data visualisation tool within data science. They allow us to plot two numerical variables, as points, on a two dimensional graph. From these plots, we can understand if there is a relationship between the two variables, and what the strength of that relationship is. Within this short tutorial, we

Using Plotly Express to Create Interactive Scatter Plots

Scatter plots allow us to plot two variables from a dataset and compare them. From these plots, we can understand if there is a relationship between the two variables, and what the strength of that relationship is. Within petrophysics scatter plots, are commonly known as crossplots. They are routinely used as part of the petrophysical
