17th International Workshop on Seismic Anisotropy

The 17th International Workshop on Seismic Anisotropy (17IWSA) will be held in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, September 18-23, 2016. The IWSA returns to the USA for the first time in the eight years. The workshop is organized by the Jackson School of Geosciences, The University of Texas at Austin. 

Study of seismic anisotropy plays an increasingly important role in application to fracture characterization of unconventional reservoirs as well as in many other areas of seismic exploration and earthquake seismology. The focus of the workshop is the development of better understanding of seismic anisotropy in the Earth and the development of practical methods for seismic data processing, imaging, and inversion in the presence of anisotropy.
