  2. Madeira and the GeoLab fibre : A tutorial on multidisciplinary applications of DAS data
  3. Notebook: the GeoLab fibre and the 3x2023 DAS dataset

Notebook: the GeoLab fibre and the 3x2023 DAS dataset

Completion requirements

Open this Colab notebook to replicate the exercises presented in the video tutorial.


  1. Environment Setup: Installation of obspy, boto3, and simpledas.
  2. Example 0 / S3 Data retrieval: You learn how to connect to a public S3 bucket (GeoLab 3X.2023) using boto3 to download HDF5 DAS data files based on specific time windows.
  3. Example 1 / Data formatting: Demonstrates how to use simpledas to load raw data into a Pandas DataFrame and convert it into an OBSpy Stream object for seismic processing.
  4. Examples 2 and 3 / Manual whale detection: These exercises guide you through signal enhancement using bandpass and F-K (Frequency-Wavenumber) filtering to isolate Blue and Fin whale calls from background noise.
  5. Example 4 / Automated marine mammals detection: You implement a template-matching algorithm using cross-correlation to automatically identify whale vocalisations and generate a detection report and spectrogram.
  6. Example 5 / Coastal geophysics: This exercise shifts focus to oceanographic signals, where you analyse wave dispersion curves in the f-k domain to estimate water depth and the effects of ocean currents.
