Seismic Working Workshop - August 10-13, 2017

Working Workshops as opposed to "talking workshops" are meetings where the participants work together (possibly divided into pairs or small teams) to develop new software code or to conduct computational experiments addressing a particular problem. In this workshop participants will work in small groups ????. Participants will share ???? so their results can be reproduced in the future by others.

Objective

This workshop invites participants to extend ???
Participants will make a final presentation describing there projects ???? The presentations, project description, with be archived and made available after the workshop for training and research.

This working workshop invites research geophysicists, programmers, students, processing geophysicists and others to collaborate on ???? Example projects are:

• This ???
• That ???
• or the other???

Participants are expected to bring laptops with the software they will use to process the seismic data during the workshop. Wifi internet access will be provided.

????Registration
