Why are tropical cyclones forming earlier in the North Atlantic basin?
The shift appears to match up to a large change in the number of cyclones that peak as tropical storms in the early part of the TC season (here defined as March-July), shown by the blue (tropical ...

stretch phenomena after NMO application on seismic data
My understanding is the following (NB: it could be wrong!).
The assumption is that on a common shot gather, your travel time follows a hyperbolic curve:
$$
f(x)=t^2=t_0^2 + \frac{x^2}{v^2},
$$
where ...

Is there a global map of wind design loads or wind gust climatology?
Have you checked out Global Wind Atlas. It uses ERA5 reanalysis data then plugs it into meso and microscale models to get it down to a 250x250m grid.

Methods and Software for Interpolating/Modelling of Stratigraphic Well Data in 2D/3D
I believe that Leapfrog 3D will do this. They have academic licenses. I also seem to recall that Intrepid Geomodeller does what you are after. Both of these options are probably overkill though.
