Workflows for optical Microscopy. Here we will illustrate various methods in optical microscopy which can be useful for the practising geologist and petrographer. Some of the topics are image manipulations, stacking, creating mosaics (”panoramas”), background subtraction, point-spread function and deconvolution. We will not discuss the standard methods used on a polarizing microscope because we assume that the miscoscopist, geologist, petrographer is conversant with these methods.

The virtual Field Trip to Java. This is a link to a number of pages descibing locations and scenery of a virtual field trip to Java, Indonesia. It is meant to entertain geologists and laymen alike. If you want to get an impression about field work, geology and scenery in Java, you will like the pages which are rich in illustrations and pictures. There is an interactive map and a couple of literature references.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Upstream Oil and Gas Industry. A book to explain the oil industry. It is available as paperback from Amazon. If you want to read up quickly what oil and gas exploration and production is about, or if you need to explain to a non-technical person (e.g., lawyer, journalist, accountant) how this industry works, this is the book for you. It is written for laymen and avoids all technical jargon and tries to explain why things are done the way they are. Also good as a present for your non-technical colleagues.
