Relocation assistance may be available for qualified candidates.
Responsibilities:
- Construction of a waveform dataset of events
- Event travel time and amplitude measurements
- Determination of 2D path-specific velocity models between source and sensor pairs
- Characterization of misfit and the level of agreement between synthetic waveforms created from the 2D velocity models and observed data
- Deliver a library of Green’s functions
- Moment tensor inversion
- Collaboration with government scientists on software development to perform smooth envelope inversion
- Deliver a final scientific report which includes results and technical details on the models and the scripts used to execute various scenarios
