Geo-Mathematical Imaging Group

Purdue University's College of Science and the Center for Computational and Applied Mathematics (CCAM) in the Department of Mathematics manage the Geo-Mathematical Imaging Group (GMIG). It is an industry and government funded, multi-disciplinary, inter-institutional graduate education and research program.

GMIG puts significant resources into multi-scale approaches to (elastic) wave-equation modeling, scattering, inverse scattering, and tomography.

The center will work to develop improved technology to meet the complex challenges of modern day prospect evaluation, enhanced oil recovery, and general geological study of the Earth's subsurface by expanding the boundaries of knowledge of seismic imaging, inverse scattering and tomography through collaborative scientific activities and breakthroughs.
