Earthscope/USArray Imaging Science &
CIG Seismology Workshop

Charles F. Knight Executive Education Center
Washington University, St. Louis MO

Tuesday October 31 - Thursday November 2, 2006

Home | Agenda

This workshop is going to review details of forward modeling methods for teleseismic data and direct imaging methods that make use of teleseismic data. Since forward modeling is an essential part of formal seismic inversion methods, the workshop will focus on forward and inverse modeling methods. Several forward modeling methods for 1-D and 3-D Earth structures are being prepared for community distribution under the auspices of CIG. A number of direct imaging methods are being used to make images of the lower crust, the upper mantle, and CMB structures from receiver functions or the elastic wavefield.

We intend to have a day of technical presentations followed by a day and a half of tutorials. The tutorials will be designed to illustrate use of the CIG forward modeling tools, and to address aspects of seismic image formation using migration/inversion methods.

This is the third of five USArray Imaging Science workshops and the second CIG Seismology workshop.

We strongly encourage attendance by senior graduate students and post-docs.

Attendance will be limited to 40 participants. All participants are expected to attend the entire workshop, which is 2.5 days long.

Food and lodging are provided as part of acceptance to the workshop.

Travel expenses will be reimbursed to the greatest extent possible within the budget.

Registration for this workshop is now closed.
