  • CWP-groupThe Center for Wave Phenomena (CWP) is an interdisciplinary research and graduate education program in seismic exploration, monitoring and wave propagation. The main focus areas of CWP research are: seismic modeling, imaging and inversion methods, as well as improving the accuracy and efficiency of seismic processing algorithms, especially for application to regions of structural complexity.

    The Center enjoys its close relationships with leading industry organizations, government agencies and academia in both domestic and international settings. CWP research projects are made possible through the close collaboration between the Center and Consortium sponsors. Our research reflects the talents of our faculty and graduate students, as well as the interests of our sponsors.

    We are associated with the Department of Geophysics at the Colorado School of Mines, a public research university dedicated to engineering and applied sciences.

    CWP is an international group with a large range of study and research interests, whose backgrounds are primarily in earth sciences, applied mathematics, computer science and physics.

    CWP faculty have a broad range of research interests and thrive on solving problems of practical interest to the exploration industry. Over the years, our research directions have expanded to reflect the talents of faculty and students, as well as to meet the needs and interests of our consortium sponsors.

    CWP graduate students are recruited for employment by industry, government or academia following the completion of their research at the Colorado School of Mines. Post-doctoral fellows and visiting scientists/scholars from organizations that share similar study and research interests are housed at the CWP while they conduct their research at the Colorado School of Mines.

    CWP research/administrative staff oversee the day-to-day operation of the Center. They also maintain software such as Seismic Unix, create CWP publications, assist students with their writing skills and manage special events such as the annual Project Review meeting.

     

    CWP is partially supported by the Consortium Project on Seismic Inverse Methods for Complex Structures. CWP gratefully acknowledges the generous support of our sponsors. Visit our Sponsors page for more information.
