  MSNoise Workshop at AGU 2014

Dear All !

There are things coming every year, such as Thanksgiving, or Christmas… 
And, before Christmas, there is the annual pilgrimage for some 20.000 
geoscientists gathering in San Francisco for AGU.  Just like last year, 
we have booked a room at the Marriott Marquis to organise a MSNoise 
workshop ! Last year an half-day was too short for going into detail, so 
this year, we are pleased to announce a *1 day MSNoise workshop* on 
*Sunday 14 December*!

The aim of this workshop is to demonstrate the powers (and limitations) 
of the dv/v calculations using ambient seismic noise cross-correlation. 
The MSNoise package (written in Python) will be introduced and then used 
by participants on provided demo data. A general schedule will be:

08.30 – 08.45: Welcome
08.45 – 10.00: Introduction to ambient noise cross-correlation & dv/v – 
Florent Brenguier (ISTerre)
10.00 – 12.00: MSNoise: general presentation -  Thomas Lecocq (Royal 
Obs. of Belgium)
12.00 – 12.45: Lunch Break (not included)
13.00 – 18.00: MSNoise practical session – Thomas & Corentin Caudron 
(EOSingapore)

Because of high organisational costs, we can’t afford to organise this 
workshop for free. We have fixed the fee to 250 USD (200 €) per person, 
with a discount for students at 185 USD (150 €). Payments will be done 
online via Credit Card (payment information will be sent by email).

To ensure the quality of the experience for everyone, we will not accept 
more than 30 participants. Each participant is required to have a 
sufficiently recent laptop with software requirements installed 
beforehand (instructions will follow). Participants are not expected to 
be Python experts, but to have at least a little experience in 
programming. To register, use the form located here 
<http://www.msnoise.org/msnoise-at-agu-2014-registration/>.


*Information on MSNoise:* MSNoise is the first complete software package 
for computing and monitoring relative velocity variations using ambient 
seismic noise. MSNoise is a fully-integrated solution that automatically 
scans data archives and determines which jobs need to be done whenever 
the scheduled task is executed (http://www.msnoise.org).
