Engineering Sciences, Purdue, 1964. Thesis: Wave propagation in optical fibers. Background After finishing my degree at Purdue University in November 1963, I joined IBM at the Glendale Development Laboratory in Endicott New York. During my 26 years with IBM I worked on: • IBM Blood Cell Separator and IBM Blood Cell Processor. • Co-author of IBM's APL graphics offering known as GRAPHPAK. • Device attachment • Computer packaging When I took an early retirement in 1990 from IBM I joined the staff at the State University of New York at Binghamton working with Francis Wu and Jeff Barker.
Computer Programs: Seismic/Eruption: A program for the visualization of seismicity and volcanic activity in space and time. The program, which runs under Windows, has an extensive database of events. A number of pre-defined maps are included which illustrate the seismicity in various parts of the earth. Click on the image at the right to see a screen-capture of the program.
The buttons do not work for you but will work when the program is run on a PC. An earlier DOS program was used by CBS News when reporting on large earthquakes. It was used at the time of the Parkfield alert in November 1993, the Northridge (Los Angeles) event of January 17, 1994, the Kobe event of January 17, 1995, and several others. You will know it if you see the caption across the top of the screen: 'CBS News Seismic Monitor.'
In 2011, I was rehired by CBS News to continue improvments to the program. This was brought about by the August 2011 magnitude 5.8 earthquake in Virginia that woke them up to the fact they should have means of covering earthquakes. Union Pacific Railroad used the program in their dispatch center in Omaha to inform them when they may have to stop trains and inspect the right-of-way. This program and the Seismic Waves program (see below) are part of theJanet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals at the National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC which opened September 20, 1997. The photo is of me and my wife, Barbara, and our daughters Adele and Kendra in front of the 40-inch monitor running Seismic/Eruption on the opening day.

The Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution released in 2000 a CD-ROM with the Seismic/Eruption and Seismic Waves programs on them plus lots more such as a photo gallery of eruptions and earthquake damage. The programs are configured as they are at the National Museum of Natural History exhibit. Go to the GVP web page for an. If you would like to use the Windows program, Seismic/Eruption, you can fetch it here: and. For just an update of the executables: You can update the earthquakes to within an hour or so of real time. If your computer is connected to the Internet, run Seismic/Eruption and click on 'Options/Update hypocenters from USGS.'
The program displays both earthquakes and volcanoes. The database of volcanism is from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution. However, the Smithsonian is no longer updating the database that Seismic/Eruption uses. The eruptions are only complete through 2010. When the program is running, the user sees lights, which represent earthquakes, flashing on the screen in speeded-up time. The user can control the speed of the action. In addition, the program can show seismicity under the earth in three-dimensional and cross-sectional views.
