GPR-SLICE tutorial video: How to update GPR-SLICE

GPR-SLICE is updated regularly – usually every week or so (and sometimes even several updates per week!). We don’t announce every update, as that’d get annoying very quickly. Instead, updates are posted online. A quarterly GPR-SLICE newsletter – emailed to all GPR-SLICE subscribers – highlights major updates.

Please update your software by going to https://gpr-survey.com/subscribers-only.html and download the first two linked .ZIP update files (the big “Download File Now” links at the top) – these are the main program update files and the “library update” files. Extract their contents into C:\slice\7.0\, overwriting any older files.

You can then run GPR-SLICE by opening C:\slice\7.0\gprslicev7.exe (or using your GPR-SLICE Desktop or Start Menu shortcuts).

Windows will alert you to a possible security problem when you try to run GPR-SLICE after updating the software. This is normal and isn’t anything to worry about. Click the “More Info” button and then “Run anyway” to open GPR-SLICE.

iOnTheSky camera footage from 31st August 2017 UT

Hunter Geophysics is currently developing the iOnTheSky aurora-monitoring camera network. Each camera in the network automatically takes a photograph every five minutes and allows Aurora Australis photographers to see what the Aurora Australis, light pollution, and weather conditions are like at any given moment.

There are currently five cameras installed throughout Tasmania (although one was offline for maintenance on the 31st August). We eventually hope to install dozens of cameras around the world. The footage from these cameras will be made available to the general public via iPhone and Android apps, which will hopefully be released in late 2017.

The below video shows the camera footage from the four operational cameras from 10am 31st August 2017 to 10am 1st September 2017 (from 00:00 to 23:55 on the 31st August 2017, UTC).

The four cameras are situated in Barrington (north Tasmania), Campbell Town (mid-northeast Tasmania), Bothwell (central Tasmania), and Ranelagh (southwest of Hobart, southern Tasmania). The fifth camera (which was offline that day) is based in Abels Bay (slightly further southeast from Ranelagh).
