Seismology (S)
S13C. Seismic Modeling and Inversion: Theory and Methodological Developments I
S14A. Seismic Modeling and Inversion: Theory and Methodological Developments II
S23C. Seismic Modeling and Inversion: Theory and Methodological Developments III
The modeling and inversion of seismic data is central to progress toward a comprehensive image of system Earth. Key to this goal are methodological developments that lead to more detailed and more reliable models of the Earth’s interior. This session will serve as a platform for innovative developments that address grand challenges in seismic modeling and inversion. These include, but are not limited to the modeling of broadband seismic data for 3D heterogeneous Earth models, advances in seismic interferometry, the efficient exploitation of emerging HPC systems, improvements of inversion theory, the joint inversion of different geophysical datasets, the quantification of uncertainties in large-scale tomography, probabilistic inversion, and the integration of data across widely varying scales from earthquakes and other sources such as ambient noise.
Invited speakers: William W. Symes (Rice University), Lucia Gualtieri (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory), Cornelis P.A. Wapenaar (Delft University of Technology), Nori Nakata (Standford University)
Session conveners: Andreas Fichtner (ETH Zurich), Carene Larmat (LANL), Monica Maceira (LANL), Ebru Bozdag (University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis)
Tectonophysics (T)
T21E: Subduction across Scales VI Posters
Session Conveners: Philippe Agard, Kelin Wang, Luce Fleitout and Bradley Hacker
Both risk assessment and lithosphere dynamics call for a better understanding of subduction zones, particularly along and across the subduction interface.
How can we bridge the gap between observations made at rock and plate scale, or between signals lasting from seconds to million years? Are we able to image and understand physical conditions and processes at work along the subduction interface at relevant scales, such as years and meters?
Time has come to further our understanding of the nature and structure of the subduction interface and elucidate which lithologies are incorporated and how, which rheological behaviours prevail, which fluids are there and where, or what is their exact bearing on earthquake ruptures.
Building on the recent wealth of geophysical and petrological data and models gathered on the plate-slab interface, we welcome stimulating contributions from all disciplines, seeking to foster joint collaboration and bridge the gap between the various communities.
