Exciting news! We're transitioning to the Statewide California Earthquake Center. Our new website is under construction, but we'll continue using this website for SCEC business in the meantime. We're also archiving the Southern Center site to preserve its rich history. A new and improved platform is coming soon!

Source Inversion Validation Workshop at SSA 2009

Date: 04/03/2009

Dear colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the Source Inversion Validation (SIV) workshop on Wednesday, April 8 (details and agenda below), during the upcoming SSA conference in Monterey!

This *short & informal* workshop is intended to bring together those people carrying out source-inversion studies, those using source-inversion results for subsequent work, and anyone interested in a validation exercise in inverse theory.

A dedicated webpage (http://siv.usc.edu/) will serve as our primary document, data, and communication exchange platform, and will soon be fully operational.

Please spread the word and mark your calendar!

Note: We are fully aware of the tight schedule during SSA, and all the other activities happening during that afternoon/evening. However, it was not possible to find another suitable day & time -- we still hope for your attendance!

Martin, Danjiel, and Morgan
