Institute Fellow Russell Garwood and colleagues are organising a SPIERS training course on the first day of the Annual Meeting of the Palaeontological Association in Cardiff, kindly supported by the Software Sustainability Institute.
SPIERS (Serial Palaeontological Image Editing and Rendering System) is a package of three programs for the reconstruction and analysis of tomographic (serial image) datasets, such as those obtained from serial-grinding of specimens, or from CT scanning. It is freely available and fully documented.
