2020 AGU Workshop on Distributed Acoustic Sensing
Virtual, Eastern Daylight Time Tuesday, December 1st, 2020, 1–7pm

The 2020 AGU Workshop on Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) Workshop was held December 1, 2020 from 1-7pm ET as part of the virtual 2020 AGU Fall Meeting. Sessions included varied talk formats and topics related to collecting and using DAS data as well as presentations from instrument vendors aimed at a broad audience, from new users to experienced researchers. The recordings from this workshop are now available on YouTube.

Organizers:

  • Scott Tyler (University of Nevada, Reno)
  • Rachel Hatch (University of Nevada, Reno)
  • Herbert Wang (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
  • Kasey Aderhold (IRIS)
  • Robert Woodward (IRIS)
