IAVCEI 2013–related Workshop: New methods/computer codes for volcano monitoring
The next IAVCEI meeting will be at Kagoshima from 20-24 July 2013. We are planning a parallel workshop to take place before the meeting, on Friday 19 July 2013 in Kagoshima. This workshop is not on the official workshop list, but it complements session 2-3 “Stress, strain and mass changes at active volcanoes”. The workshop will be focused on teaching new methods for calculating parameters that are useful in volcano monitoring. The workshops will consist of session with people describing the techniques and later sessions for hands-on learning. Sample data sets will be provided for each of the methods and will be discussed at the workshop. The topics below will be offered.
Program is:
- MFAST shear-wave splitting package and associate TESSA tomography package: Presenters Martha Savage, Jessica Johnson and Ernestynne Walsh (MFAST is written with free publicly available software; TESSA requires MATLAB)
- Methodology and programs for using background seismic noise to monitor changes in surface wave velocity with time. The package called MSNoise (Monitoring using Seismic Noise) will be used and is written in Python (no Matlab needed). Presenters Florent Brenguier and Thomas Lecocq, from the Royal Observatory of Belgium will be presenting it.
- Programs for how to invert GPS data for simple pressure source characteristics using either MATLAB or Python. Presenters: Nico Fournier and/or Flavio Cannavo
- The basics of how to use the PyLith finite element code for the solution of dynamic and quasi-static tectonic deformation problems. Presenter: Charles Williams, Adrian Shelley
- Seismic amplitude ratio analysis. Presenter Benoit Taisne.
The workshop is free, but you need to sign up by May 1 with an indication of which sessions you are most interested in attending. More specific information will be available on the IAVCEI web pages in mid-February.
