[CIG-ALL] 4th Earthscope/USArray Imaging Science & CIG Seismology Workshop

[Ariel Shoresh]

4th Earthscope/USArray Imaging Science &  CIG Seismology Workshop 

University of California at Berkeley, June 22-24, 2011

The USArray Transportable and Flexible Array experiments have provided
extraordinary opportunities for advanced imaging of the entire earth. Since
forward modeling is an essential part of formal seismic inversion methods,
the workshop will focus on forward and inverse modeling methods. The
workshop will review methods of seismic forward modeling, tomographic and
scattered wave imaging, waveform tomography, and adjoint and inversion
methods. Several forward modeling methods for 1-D and 3-D Earth structures
are available to the community through the Computational Infrastructure for
Geodynamics (CIG).

We intend to have technical presentations on seismic methodology followed
by tutorials. The tutorials will be designed to illustrate use of the CIG
codes, other seismic imaging codes, and to address the strengths and
limitations of the different seismic image formation methods.

We encourage attendance by senior graduate students and post-docs. U.C.
Berkeley accommodations are available for all participants. Attendance will
be limited to 35 students and post-docs. We can accommodate ~15 senior
scientists in addition to the lecturers.

This is the fourth USArray Imaging Science workshop and coincidentally the
fourth CIG Seismology workshop.
