[IRIS] AGU Session - S10: Recent Advances in Applied Theoretical Seismology

[Leslie Linn]

Are you doing research in wave propagation, waveform inversion, and/ 
or imaging that falls on the cusp of theoretical and applied  
seismology? Are you looking for a suitable session to present your  
results?  If so, please consider submitting an abstract for the  
session "S10: Recent Advances in Applied Theoretical Seismology" at  
this year's AGU Fall Meeting, December 11-15, 2006, in San Francisco,  
California, USA.

The goal of this session is to bring together seismologists over a  
broad range of disciplines, from observational to theoretical  
seismologists with the emphasis on "showcasing" new theoretical  
advances or novel applications of existing seismic methods to current  
seismological problems of interest.  This session would not only  
allow theoretical and applied seismologists to share ideas but also  
give observational seismologists a chance to see (via numerical  
examples and very few equations) what might currently be in  
development that may be useful in their work.

Description:  With the increasing availability of both high-quality  
broadband data and high-performance computing, the seismological  
community is moving into a new era in which traditional methods of  
data analysis, developed for much less powerful computers, can and  
should be augmented or replaced with more advanced techniques. This  
is especially important where targets of interest are becoming  
increasingly more complicated, elusive, or subtle. The community of  
theoretical seismologists, although small in number, has an  
opportunity to make significant contributions to this effort, both in  
laying the theoretical foundations of new methods and in developing  
them algorithmically for transfer to the broader community. In an  
effort to provide a forum for theorists to exchange new ideas and  
showcase recent developments, we solicit abstracts for research in  
applied theoretical seismology, with special emphasis on work in wave  
propagation and nonlinear seismic waveform inversion. In specifying  
applied theory, we expect that contributors will have at least some  
basic results for simple test cases, but purely theoretical work  
likely to be of significant interest to a wider seismological  
audience will be considered. Contributors should also bear in mind  
that the session is intended to be accessible to most seismologists,  
and presentations should be designed accordingly.
