IRIS Online Workshop Series on Recording the Full Seismic Wavefield

Posted on by
Evolving technologies will allow the deployment of seismic arrays capable of recording well-sampled wavefields, reducing or eliminating aliasing. The resulting datasets will enable new wavefield imaging methods that can transform studies of seismic sources and of Earth structure. Scientific benefits exist at all scales, from global to soils.

IRIS will be hosting a series of online workshops to gather input from the broader seismological community about the potential scientific benefits of densely sampled full-wavefield seismic data. These workshops will be divided by application/scale, and are intended together to be inclusive. Workshop topics will include: global, regional broadband, source discrimination, earthquake source, controlled source, ocean, polar, and volcano seismology.

Each workshop will ask the question: “What new science would be enabled by full-wavefield seismic data?”

WORKSHOP 1: Monday, April 21st, 12-2 PM Eastern / 9-11 AM Pacific
Convenors: Greg Beroza (beroza@stanford.edu) and Jamie Steidl (steidl@eri.ucsb.edu)

This workshop will focus on earthquake source processes, earthquake hazards, and strong ground motion. The discussion will be recorded and posted here: http://www.iris.edu/hq/wavefields

Registration:  20 spots available. Please email Andy Frassetto (andyf@iris.edu) if you wish to attend and you will receive a link to the workshop.
To submit a 1-2 slide idea for discussion: Email in pdf format to Andy by 4/18. Slides are welcome from those unable to attend, but should include a few words to go with the slide.
