Source Inversion Validation Workshop at SSA 2009

Dear colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the Source Inversion Validation (SIV) workshop on Wednesday, April 8 (details and agenda below), during the upcoming SSA conference in Monterey!

This *short & informal* workshop is intended to bring together those people carrying out source-inversion studies, those using source-inversion results for subsequent work, and anyone interested in a validation exercise in inverse theory.

A dedicated webpage (http://siv.usc.edu/) will serve as our primary document, data, and communication exchange platform, and will soon be fully operational.

Please spread the word and mark your calendar!

Note: We are fully aware of the tight schedule during SSA, and all the other activities happening during that afternoon/evening. However, it was not possible to find another suitable day & time -- we still hope for your attendance!

Martin, Danjiel, and Morgan
