We invite our colleagues in Latin America to attend the Inaugural Full-Waveform Inversion workshop in Brazil.

Monday, August 31, 2015 - 08:00 to Tuesday, September 1, 2015 - 18:00

 

We are pleased to present this workshop as part of the International Inversion Initiative and in collaboration with partners Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, SENAI CIMATEC Supercomputing Centre Bahia, Imperial College London, the University of British Columbia (Canada) and BG Brasil. Please, follow the link above for more information.

Mike Warner, Imperial College London, UK
Felix J. Herrmann, University of British Columbia, Canada

Description: Full waveform inversion (FWI) is now a widely established theory of geophysical imaging, yet not fully applied in practise due to limitations of seismic acquisitions, seismic simulations, inversion algorithms, and computational restrictions. This workshop will explore theoretical and practical applications of FWI theory through a series of Tutorials using field datasets, and Lectures discussing current leading industry practise, the latest research developments on theoretical and computational fronts, and techniques of data preconditioning and computational optimization. Researchers, students and industry practitioners are invited to attend.
