July 2-3, 2009, Utrecht University, The Netherlands

The tremendous success of seismology over the last 20 years is greatly due to the free availability of high quality waveform data originating from various global and regional networks. The aim of the ORFEUS data center and more recently of the NERIES project is to provide an infrastructure that will gather all available digital seismological data in the Euro-Mediterranean region and to distribute them in a user-friendly way. The NERIES project provides the resources to implement a significant integration and modernization of the European infrastructure for seismological data. One of the key elements for the success of this project is a close interaction with the scientists using the data. The goal of this workshop is to expose the scientific research based on digital seismological data and the corresponding needs and wishes of the data users.

After a successful first ORFEUS-workshop on waveform inversion, the theme of the second workshop will be seismic tomography from the local to the global scale. Although seismic tomography is a mature discipline by now, many questions remain, i.e. resolution, uncertainty, theoretical approximation, what is noise, etc. We seek contributions on all aspects of seismic tomography which complement or are directly related in our efforts to create a three-dimensional European Reference model. The workshop is ideally suited for in-depth discussions between experienced researchers, postdocs and PhD students.
