Synergies in Geophysical, Medical and Space Imaging

"Rapid advances are occurring in diverse branches of imaging science and engineering. The geophysical, medical and space imaging disciplines share many common challenges and research opportunities. The goal of this workshop is to encourage cross-fertilization between imaging physicists in these three disciplines. The intent is that each discipline will present a tutorial on their imaging applications, share their state-of-the-art imaging techniques, and their "road-ahead" imaging research challenges. Contributions involving cross-disciplinary efforts and novel applications are welcome."
