Month: July 2017

We are happy to announce that the 33rd HKT workshop will take place in Lausanne, Switzerland, from September 10th to 12th, 2018. Further news will appear with time on the conference website: www.unil.ch/hkt2018

We look forward to see you at the meeting and at the pre-conference field-trip in the Alps!

Leonardo Colavitti and Matteo Scarponi will participate to an Advanced Training School “Seismic Tomography: from data analysis to inversion, results, and uncertainty estimates” organised by TIDES (TIme DEpendent Seismology) that will be held in Oxford, UK from 10 to 14 July 2017. At this link you can find the detailed programme of the School.

Our planned contributions consist of two posters:

• Colavitti L, Hetényi G: Towards a new method to develop a 3-D shear-wave velocity model from converted waves.
• Scarponi M, Hetényi G, IvreaArray Working Group: High-resolution imaging of the Ivrea Geophysical Body: A receiver function and gravity approach.

In a week-long field effort, 7 researchers from Uni. Lausanne, IG Prague and INGV Genova have installed IvreaArray, a 10-station broadband seismological array in NE Italy. The station spacing is ca. 5 km along a West-East line, and operation is foreseen for 1 year.

Sarah Incel from ENS Paris will be visiting us on 6-7th July. She will give a seminar on Experimental constraints on rheology during eclogite-facies metamorphic reactions, on Thursday 6th at 16:15 in Géopolis-1628. Everyone interested in rock physics, lab experiments, petrology, dehydration reactions (and more) is welcome!
