[IRIS] Earthscope/USArray Imaging Science & CIG Seismology Workshop

Earthscope/USArray Imaging Science & CIG Seismology Workshop

Washington University St. Louis Conference Center

October 31-November 2, 2006


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.  Hotel, per diem, and  
partial travel costs will be reimbursed.
