Description:
The Mathematical Geophysics Summer School is an NSF-funded program to be held at Stanford University during the month of August from 1998-2002. Its overall purpose is to attract the attention and interest of theoreticians (applied mathematicians in particular) to the many interesting and important problems in geophysics, as well as to define mathematically, address and solve some of these problems. Topics include Seismic Imaging (1998), Geophysical Tomography (1999) and Waves and Inhomogeneous Media (2000). For 2001 we are considering Reservoirs, Water Resources, Upscaling and Geostatistics and for 2002, Imaging.
For the years 2000-2002 we have changed the format of the Summer School in order to enhance its educational content. Regarding the scientific content of the lectures, we want to have theory, geophysical applications, interdisciplinary applications, and applications to imaging and inverse problems. We also want to have contact with data and computational tools and methods.
