• Earth Science Research Seminar: Dr Luca De Siena (UoA) 'Energy-dependent tomography of volcanic cones and calderas: towards exploiting full-waveform information'

  26 March 2015, 15:30 - 16:30

  Please join us for a seminar given by Dr Luca De Siena on “Energy-dependent tomography of volcanic cones and calderas: towards exploiting full-waveform information.” Abstract: In volcanic media, strong lateral variations in the properties affecting seismic wave propagation produce physical phenomena, which generally corrupt results based on ray-propagation and linear optics, and...
