==SEG Seismic Working Workshop - Python for Geophysics - August 8-11, 2018==

[[Working Workshops]] as opposed to "talking workshops" are meetings where the participants work in pairs or small teams to develop new software code or to conduct computational experiments addressing a particular problem.  In this workshop participants will work in small groups to create short, reproducible, geophysical tutorials.  These tutorials are inspired by The Leading Edge geophysical tutorial [http://wiki.seg.org/wiki/A_user_guide_to_the_geophysical_tutorials articles]. Groups will make lightning talks (a five minute presentation) at then end of the workshop.  An open repository will be created to share presentations and code after the workshop.

==Objective==
Groups of two or three participant will be formed at the working workshop for implement geophysical algorithms in Python.  The algorithms may be a translation of an existing seismic processing program or something completely new.  You can create a geophysics data plotting tool or work on a interpretation problem using machine learning.  The theme to tie things together is programming in Python.  You may be inspired by reading [http://wiki.seg.org/wiki/Geophysical_tutorials tutorials in The Leading Edge].  These articles all provide Geophysical programs in Python, Jupyter notebooks.  Come with an idea or listen to other idea.  Create a small group and work on the project for three days.  Share your project at the end of the workshop in a lightning talk ( five minute presentation).  You're likely to come up with ideas worth working on after the event,.

Participants are expected to bring laptops with the software they will use create a tutorial during the workshop. Wifi internet access will be available.

This working workshop hopes to provide a forum for geophysicist to learn, contribute, and network.
