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
- a series of workshops in geomathematics, directed at professionals. These workshops, which are funded by the Alberta Government, will take place in Calgary in 2010–2011, and
- a multi-year series of summer schools in geomathematics. The 2010 activity is the University of Washington Inverse Problems and Partial Differential Equations Summer School.
We also plan to expand cooperation with our international partners (such as CINVESTAV in Mexico) on these topics, seeking to develop joint projects involving colleagues in Canada, Mexico, and the US.
