The Vision Behind SIGHT

I am delighted to welcome you to the SIGHT2026: Seismic Imaging & Geophysical HPC Technologies Symposium, a premier event that brings together experts and professionals in geophysics to discuss the latest developments and applications of advanced seismic imaging techniques, and emerging High-Performance Computing (HPC) technologies.

This is a truly exciting time for our field, as we are witnessing significant advancements in seismic imaging techniques, driven by the pursuit of hydrocarbons and other subsurface resources. The demand for accurate and detailed subsurface characterization has never been more pressing, and Full-Waveform Inversion (FWI) has emerged as a key technology for advancing seismic imaging. However, its full potential, particularly when incorporating elastic, viscoelastic, and anisotropic physics, comes with significant computational and data challenges. This symposium aims to address these challenges and explore the latest developments in FWI, HPC, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in seismic imaging.

I am confident that this symposium will provide you with the opportunity to learn about the latest trends and advancements in seismic imaging and HPC, and to network with leading experts in the field. I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to submit an abstract, share your own work, and contribute to the discussion on how to advance the frontiers of geophysical imaging. And be part of this exciting event.

I look forward to your participation! Let us work together to drive scientific innovation and operational excellence, and to set a new global benchmark for excellence in subsurface imaging.
