Madagascar School of Reproducible Computational Geophysics and Hands-On Workshop

 

Program

Day 1: Friday, July 23
9:00-10:30	Introduction (Sergey Fomel)
10:30-10:45	break
10:45-12:15	Workflows in SCons and automatic testing (Jim Jennings)
12:15-1:15	Lunch
1:15-2:45	Seismic finite-difference modeling and migration example (Paul Sava)
	The theoretical part of this module provides an overview of reverse-time imaging methodology applied to wavefield seismic data. The main technique discussed is reverse-time migration with emphasis on modern imaging conditions which enable migration velocity analysis and amplitude-versus-angle analysis. The applied part demonstrates this technique on a complex geologic model using Madagascar codes in a fully reproducible setup.
2:45-3:00	break
3:00-4:30	Discussion
	Open Q&A session and discussions on the future development of Madagascar
5:30-8:00	Dinner and Madagascar 1.0 celebration

 

Day 2: Saturday, July 24
9:00-10:30	Programming with Madagascar (Tariq Alkhalifah)
10:30-10:45	break
10:45-12:15	Plotting and high-performance computing with Madagascar (Vladimir Bashkardin)
12:15-1:15	Lunch
1:15-2:45	Seismic field data processing example (Ioan Vlad)
2:45-3:00	break
3:00-4:30	Discussion
	Open Q&A session and discussions on the future development of Madagascar
