| Session Description | The main goal of seismic imaging is to infer the Earth’s dynamics, composition, and evolution. Our view of the Earth is transforming - from crust to core, local to global scales, and past to future - thanks to the advent of high-density networks, new modeling techniques, and unprecedented High Performance Computing (HPC) capacity. We invite presentations on all aspects related to seismic imaging. Studies focus on quantitative inferences of Earth dynamics and imaging methods that better determine spatial/temporal resolution, viscosity, anisotropy, density, and poro-elasticity are particularly encouraged. We also welcome presentations on new imaging techniques that harness large emerging data, original measurements, and modern computational resources. Topics like joint inversion of complementary geophysical datasets, forward and inverse modeling of full waveforms, ambient-noise correlations, earthquake source imaging, and probabilistic approaches will be gladly received. |
