Thread: SSA Virtual Tomography Sessions - Registration Open

Now more than 40 years old, the field of seismic tomography has provided an
unprecedented look at the 3D internal structures of the Earth. But as
tomography enters its middle age, it’s time to take stock and explore new
ideas and questions.

Led by Co-Chairs Andreas Fichtner of ETH Zürich and Clifford Thurber of the
University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Seismological Society of America is
convening five virtual tomography sessions
https://www.seismosoc.org/tomography2021/. Each two-hour session will
feature five presentations, followed by group discussion led by prominent
discussants.


*Cutting-edge Methods for Seismic Imaging I*6 October 2020 at 10 AM Pacific
Featured Discussants: Jeroen Ritsema (University of Michigan) and Carl Tape
(University of Alaska Fairbanks)

Presentations:

- "Markov Chain Monte Carlo Regional Tomography Models of Western North
America: Findings from Alaska & Southern California." Elizabeth Berg,
University of Utah
- "Adjoint Tomography of New Zealand's North Island Using an Automated,
Open-source Workflow." Bryant Chow, Victoria University of Wellington
- "Seismic Traveltime Tomography Based on Stochastic Voronoi Cells
