The 2021 AGU Workshop on Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) Workshop will be held December 12, 2021 from 10-4pm CT as part of the hybrid 2021 AGU Fall Meeting.
Workshop Overview: This workshop is designed to introduce the AGU community of researchers to fiber-optic based acoustic sensing or DAS. DAS is capable of measuring strain and/or strain rate at thousands of locations over kilometers of optical fiber at frequencies covering the sub-Hertz to 20 kHz range!
Who should attend: DAS is now widely used in seismology, and has the potential to impact almost all of AGU’s Sections of earth and space sciences. The workshop will include discussions of opportunities in glaciology, ocean sciences, atmospheric sciences, hydrology, geodesy,
volcanology, geomorphology and even planetary sciences! The workshop is divided into two consecutive modules, the first designed for complete novices and will focus on the basics of operation. In the second module, emphasis will be on recent examples of DAS experiments as well as a comprehensive discussion on how to design a DAS-enabled experiment in boreholes, surface mode and in urban/infrastructure environments.
Instrument vendors will also be present to discuss current systems and how to adapt them to your research needs.
For more information, contact Scott Tyler (styler@unr.edu) or Herb Wang (hfwang@wisc.edu).
Registration: Sign up for the workshop when you register for the Fall 2021 meeting at: https://www.agu.org/Fall-Meeting. The cost of the workshop is $150. Travel support is available for early career participants.

Distributed Acoustic Sensing In Earth Sciences: From Novice To Cutting Edge Sunday December 12, 2021: In person and virtual 10:00 am - 4:00 pm CST New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center Room 271-273 Virtual link has been sent out via email The concept is a two-part workshop, early part devoted to people new to DAS and opportunities for questions and answers, followed by a second part focused on setting up a DAS experiment, new applications, instrument vendor demos, and close with discussion of community resources. Beginners’ Tutorial: We encourage our those new to Distributed Acoustic Sensing to review the following instructional videos PRIOR to the workshop 2018 Introductory Video from Nate Lindsey and Eileen Martin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAcQ44YRMuM 2021 Introductory of DAS by Eileen Martin from the 2021 SAGE/GAGE workshop): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afIzZyBpdU4&t=108s (note that the introduction portion of this video runs the first 20 minutes of the video. Feel free to watch more if you like, but the first 20 minutes will be critical for the workshop
