Dr. Ben Holtzman, the Lamont Associate Research Professor at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia U., presents “Machine Listening reveals cyclic change in seismic source spectra in the Geysers geothermal field, California; can we learn to hear changes in the thermal-mechanical state?” at the MIT Earth Resources Laboratory. “The earthquake rupture process reflects complex interactions of stress, fracture…

Dr. Ping Wang, Research Geophysicist Project Lead at CGGVeritas, presents “Full Waveform Inversion for Subsalt Imaging” at the MIT Earth Resources Laboratory. “FWI is considered the most promising data-driven tool to automatically build velocity models by iteratively minimizing the difference between recorded data and modeled synthetic data. However, its impact on subsalt imaging had been…

Dr. Phoebe Robinson DeVries, a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard U., presents “Deep learning for aftershock location patterns and the earthquake cycle” at the MIT Earth Resources Laboratory. “Over the past few years, deep learning has led to rapid advances in applied computer science, from machine vision to natural language processing. These methods are now accessible…

Dr. Stanislav Glubokovskikh, Seinor Research Fellow at Curtin U. and the Western Australia School of Mines, presents “Downhole-based permanent geophysical monitoring of CO2 geosequestration” at the MIT Earth Resources Laboratory. “Time-lapse (TL) seismic is widely used in CO2 geosequestration projects for both monitoring the behavior of the injected fluid in the target reservoir and demonstrating…

Dr. George Dresen, Profesor at U. Postdam and the German Resources Center for Geosciences, presents “Fault structure, damage and induced microseismicity –  what do we learn from the lab?” at the MIT Earth Resources Laboratory. “Seismic events induced at about reservoir depth and large enough to be felt at the surface and thus raising public…

Dr. Karianne Bergen, Harvard Data Science Initiative Fellow at Harvard U., presents “Big data for small earthquakes: a data mining approach to large-scale earthquake detection” at the MIT Earth Resources Laboratory on September 28, 2018.
