Geomathematics Program
PIMS aims to connect academics working in geomathematics to the oil industry, serving as a facilitator and a network of resources. Our main role is the training of highly qualified personnel and the development of the mathematics involved in seismic imaging and related areas. PIMS currently sponsors:
- geomathematics fellowships at the University of Calgary
- industrial workshops in geomathematics. The Mathematical Modeling in Industry Workshop held in June 2012 included problems from the oil industry
- a multi-year series of summer schools in geomathematics. The 2012 activity was the University of Washington Inverse Problems and Partial Differential Equations Summer School. In 2013 University of Calgary will host a summer school on Recent Developments in Numerical Methods for Seismic Inverse Problems and Applications.
