CM3
Direct and Inverse Scattering in Extended Inhomogeneous Environments

3:45 PM-5:45 PM
Room 244
(This session will run until 6:15 PM)

This minisymposium addresses one- and multi-dimensional direct and inverse scattering/propagation problems of applied and industrial interest. A variety of mathematical methods are applied to basic problems in underwater acoustic, Arctic ice, and seismic modeling. The large-scale, extended nature of the inhomogeneous environments provides the unifying theme. The speakers will focus on a wide range of mathematical ideas to address these problems in extended environments. They will present exact and asymptotic results along with extensive numerical calculations.
