The demand for higher resolution and broader range of applications is rapidly increasing. This session welcomes contributions from seismic imaging in various scales and application arenas, with special emphasis on recent advances and future directions. Examples may include innovations and advances in 3D traveltime tomography, waveform tomography, receiver function mapping, surface wave inversion, and joint inversion of multiple geophysical observations. We also encourage case study papers using seismic imaging to solve real problems. Discussions on the pitfalls, limitations, and artifacts of common seismic imaging methods and potential remedies are most welcome.<br><br>Conveners<br>Youshun Sun <a href="mailto:youshun@mit.edu">mailto:youshun@mit.edu</a><br>Monica Maceira <a href="mailto:mmaceira@lanl.gov">mailto:mmaceira@lanl.gov</a><br><br>---------------------------------------------------------------------<div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
