PACIFIC Final Events: PACIFIC Symposium and Kallak Workshop
Brief description :The PACIFIC symposium and Kallak Workshop will take place on 27-28 October 2021 at the Killian Amphitheater of the Earth Science Institute (ISTerre). ISTerre is located on the campus of the University of Grenoble-Alpes (UGA) in Saint-Martin d’Hères/Gières, France.
It is expected that participants will attend on site but please note that the PACIFIC final events can also be attended online. All participants are invited to register using the link to the dedicated registration platform (below, see URL section). The program and the logistic pack are also available from the registration platform.
Deadline to register: Monday 11th October 2021 at the latest
WP :Type of information :PACIFIC FINAL EVENTS AT UNIVERSITE GRENOBLE ALPES: SAVE THE DATE !
Brief description :Funded by the European Commission and coordinated by the Universite Grenoble Alpes, PACIFIC is a research project in the field of mineral exploration. The project aims at developing new exploration techniques that respect the environment and incur relatively low costs. Join us in Grenoble on 27-28 October to find out how the PACIFIC consortium has been conducting fundamental and applied research to develop two radically new and complementary mineral exploration techniques, both based on passive seismic imagery.
The detailed programme and registration platform will soon be available. Stay tuned !

Brief description :At the invitation of Dr. Andrew Schaeffer (Geological Survey of Canada, Natural Resources Canada), Dr. François Lavoué (UGA) presented the PACIFIC work on the use of seismic signals generated by trains for passive seismic imaging and monitoring on May 5th, 2021. The presentation provided an overview of the activities carried out within the framework of both the PACIFIC and FaultScan EU-funded projects.
The presentation was attended by around 40 people. Technical questions revolved around the parameters controlling signal amplitude, and a more general debate took place on the merits of excluding signals generated by trains from "classic" ambient noise datasets, as is done for earthquakes.
