  MSNoise Workshop at AGU 2015 - First Call

Hi All !

There are things coming every year, such as Thanksgiving, or Christmas… 
And, before Christmas, there is the annual pilgrimage for some 25.000 
geoscientists gathering in San Francisco for AGU. Just like last year, 
we plan to book a room at the Marriott Marquis to organise a MSNoise 
workshop ! Last year a full day workshop proved to be perfect in order 
to install/test MSNoise and to discuss user cases. So, this year again, 
we plan to organise a *1 day MSNoise workshop* on *Sunday 13 December*!

The aim of this workshop is to demonstrate the powers (and limitations) 
of the dv/v calculations using ambient seismic noise cross-correlation. 
The MSNoise package (written in Python) will be introduced and then used 
by participants on provided demo data. New developments to MSNoise will 
be presented too: an easier configuration interface, an improved 
pluggability and the demonstration of external plugins currently in 
development (e.g. PPSD & RSAM/SSAM). A general schedule will be:

08.30 – 08.45: Welcome
08.45 – 10.00: Introduction to ambient noise cross-correlation & dv/v – 
Florent Brenguier (ISTerre)
10.00 – 12.00: MSNoise: general presentation -  Thomas Lecocq (Royal 
Observatory of Belgium)
12.00 – 12.45: Lunch Break (not included)
13.00 – 18.00: Introduction to new stuff (Interface & Plugins) and 
MSNoise practical session – Thomas & Corentin Caudron (EOSingapore)

Because of high organisational costs, we can’t afford to organise this 
workshop for free. We will fix a fee when we will have news from the AGU 
staff, but it will probably be close to last year's fees: 250 USD (200 
€) per person, with a discount for students at 185 USD (150 €).

We also plan to allow past participants to attend only the afternoon 
part of the workshop if they don't want to attend again the 
introductions (discounts will apply).

The AGU service to book workshop facilities is not yet open, so this is 
a first call for "expression of interest" to participate. If you are 
interested, please send a direct email to me 
(Thomas.Lecocq(a)seismology.be <mailto:Thomas.Lecocq@seismology.be>) so I 
can add you on the "temporary list".

Best regards from sunny Brussels,

Thomas
