| Session Description | Over the past decade, thanks to the rapid advances of computing power and the deployments of large-scale dense seismic arrays, seismic imaging of the Earth’s interior has improved significantly in the resolution and accuracy. Numerous innovative methods of seismic imaging have been developed, such as ambient noise tomography, full-waveform adjoint tomography, finite-frequency tomography, and inverse scattering imaging. These new methods combined with rich seismic data help to refine and sharpen the picture of the earth’s internal structures across various spatial scales, which substantially advance our understanding of plate tectonics and internal geodynamics. In this session we solicit presentations on the subjects of seismic imaging including, but not limited to, new data acquisition and processing approaches, new seismic imaging techniques, and their applications in imagining Earth’s internal structures in understanding regional and global tectonics. Contributions to explore seismic velocity heterogeneities, anisotropy and attenuation structures of the earth on all different scales are all welcome. |
