Subproject 2 teams leading researchers in geophysics
and computational mathematics to address a key problem in
geophysics: data fusion of distinct information sources
in order to determine physical properties of the Earth.
This can only be addressed when the 3-D structure of a region
of interest can be clearly defined by a velocity, density,
anisotropy, and/or attenuation models. Analysis of individual
geophysical and geological data sets, however, may lead
to different models, mostly due to mischaracterization of
errors. The team will apply current and novel techniques
from optimization and trust models research (e.g., data
assimilation and inversion methods using sensor information)
that will advance our understanding of fundamental Earth
processes and impact similar projects that collect or analyze
large amounts of geophysical data, e.g., EarthScope and
environmental sciences.

Message from the Geology PI
Aaron Velasco
Geology PI, Geologicl Science Project Lead
Welcome to the Geoscience component of Cyber-ShARE.
We have assembled an amazing team of scientists and students
from multiple disciplines to focus on modeling the Earth.
Although this sounds like a simple problem, one of the major
difficulties in the geosciences is integrating multiple
data sets that have different sensitivities and resolutions.
We are tackling this problem using several different approaches,
utilizing the expertise of our team from Mathematics, Computer
Sciences, and Geological Sciences. Our results will be fully
integrated into Cyber-ShARE, and the other research projects
within Cyber-ShARE. If you are a student and wish to learn
more or if you wish to collaborate, please send us an email.
