[MSNoise] TIDES (MS)Noise Training Course - Vienna 2016

[Thomas Lecocq]

  TIDES (MS)Noise training – Vienna 2016

The aim of this Training School is to demonstrate the powers and 
limitations of using ambient seismic noise for seismological studies 
using continuous data, for example using ambient seismic noise 
cross-correlation for computing dv/v, surface wave tomography or 
microseismic activity tracking. The MSNoise package will be introduced 
and then used by participants on provided demo data. New developments to 
MSNoise will be presented too: an easier configuration interface, an 
improved pluggability and the demonstration of external plugins 
currently in development (e.g. PPSD, TOMO or SARA). The workshop will 
occur during the weekend following the EGU 2016 General Assembly and 
will be ran over three days. During the first day, we will make sure 
everyone has the right software and provide a refresher course on 
Python/ObsPy. The second day will contain review presentations related 
to "the seismic noise" followed by a practical using MSNoise. On the 
third day, other techniques like Amplitude Ratio and Tomography will be 
presented before a MSNoise hacking session.

  Budget

This training is *fully supported* by *TIDES*, an Action supported by 
the *COST Association*, aiming at structuring the EU seismological 
community to enable development of data-intensive, time-dependent 
techniques for monitoring Earth active processes (e.g., earthquakes, 
volcanic eruptions, landslides, glacial earthquakes) as well as oil/gas 
reservoirs.

*_This _**Training School* 
<http://tides-cost.eu/assets/docs/Training_School_1.html>*_is aimed 
mostly at TIDES-funded participants_*. TIDES-participants (trainees) can 
benefit from a Training-School Grant (fixed amount, _overall 
contribution_ for their travel, accommodation and meal expenses), please 
check this page carefully: 
http://www.tides-cost.eu/assets/docs/Training_School_2.html !!

*Final Note*

Participants coming to Vienna only for this training might be interested 
to arrive a day earlier and attend the EGU meeting, specifically the 
"/SM4.1 Ambient seismic noise techniques: sources, monitoring, and 
imaging/" programmed on Friday 22 April in Room 1.85. and convened by 
Céline Hadziioannou, Martin Schimmel, Chris Bean, Ulrich Wegler, 
Christoph Sens-Schönfelder and Eric Larose.
