About the Workshop

The aim of this workshop is to bring researchers and practitioners from academia and industry together to discuss the method of full waveform inversion as it pertains to near-surface imaging and different geophysical methods, mainly GPR and seismic. Over the course of four meetings on 21 September, 5 October, 19 October and 2 November, the theoretical, as well as numerical aspects, of the FWI problem will be presented and discussed. Discussion about the state-of-the-art in all aspects of FWI will be covered, and successful use cases will be showcased, as well as discussions about limitations and current obstacles to getting FWI to work in the near surface. This will be a virtual workshop. Lectures will be pre-recorded so that participants can learn on their own schedules; live discussions and poster sessions will also occur. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the current applications and limitations of FWI for near-surface imaging.
