Workshop on Geophysics – January,
2004
Workshop
Description:
The focus will be on seismic imaging,
both active and passive, with an aside to magnetotellurics (MT)
and the potential for integrating MT and seismic investigations.
Organizer:
Steve Roecker
Background:
During the inaugural year for the newly
established IPRPI center, we are organizing day-long workshops to
discuss inverse problems (or "imaging") in a number of
disciplines. The first in this series is devoted to Geophysical
Imaging.
Location:
Info to come
Schedule:
8:30-8:45 Continental
Breakfast/Caffeine Upload
8:45-9:00 Welcome and Introduction
9:00-10:00 Vadim Levin (Rutgers)
A Sharper Image: Receiver Function Analysis of Massive
Digital Data Sets.
10:00-10:15 Discussion and break
10:15-11:15 Gary Pavlis (Indiana University)
Direct Imaging of Forward-Scattered, Elastic Wavefields:
Progress and Future Directions
11:15-11:30 Discussion and break
11:30-12:30 Steve Park (UC Riverside)
Magnetotelluric Data: The "Empty" Method
or Neccessary Adjunct to Seismic Imaging?
12:30-1:30 Discussion and Lunch
1:30-2:30 John Hole (Virginia Tech)
Tomographic Inversion of Wide-Angle Seismic Data
2:30-2:45 Discussion and break
2:45-3:45 Biondo Biondi (Stanford)
Imaging of complex structures by 3-D reflection
seismic data
3:45-4:45 Discussion and break
4:45-6:00 "Cocktail Hour" (wings/chips/pizza/beer/soda)
Discussions and short presentations
We anticipate presentations by Raffaella
Montelli and Ying Zhou of Princeton on applications of "banana-doughnut"
imaging.
Notes:
We will provide lunch; probably a buffet just outside the Fischbach
Room so you won't need to interupt your discussions for a hunter-gatherer
excursion.
The "Cocktail Hour" will also be held during discussion/presentation
time to keep participants from fainting due to lack of calories.
Housing:
For those of you who want to arrive
Thursday (or before) and leave Saturday (or after), there are a
number of places to stay in the Troy/Albany/Schenectady area that
are convenient to RPI, spanning the entire gamut from luxury suite
to spider hole (with air vent).
We have reserved a block of rooms at this
pretty reasonable place close to campus:
Franklin Square Inn and Suites
One Fourth Street
Troy, NY 12180
Ph: 518-274-8800
Fax: 518-274-0427
email: fssuites@yahoo.com
When you request a room, you should
mention: "RPI Workshop on Geophysical Imaging."
The rooms will be held until January 15. If they run out of space,
or if you have any other lodging issues that you need help resolving,
contact Steve Roecker (roecks@rpi.edu)
or Alice Baker (mclauj3@rpi.edu)
and we will do what we can.
A/V Equipment:
The Fischbach room has a computer projector
and is internet capable. We will also have overhead projectors available.
We can probably find slide projectors if necessary - they should
be in the same closet as our 8 track tape player.
Format:
See schedule above.
Contact:
For more information please contact Steve Roecker at roecks@rpi.edu
or call him at 518-276-6773. Also, if you are planning on coming
and haven't told Steve yet, please drop him an email so he can keep
a head count. Thanks.
