- Welcome and Introduction (Kris Innanen) video
Day 1 (December 3rd, 2020)
- Session 1. Distributed Acoustic Sensing and Seismic Acquisition
CREWES continues to focus on fibreoptics (DAS) as a sensing technology to support monitoring. DAS, illuminated by standard but also new types of permanent and continuous sources, comprises a potentially very powerful approach to acquisition. In this session we summarize continuing efforts to use and invert DAS data, and innovative ways to deploy DAS fibre, and interpret and process the data.

- Session 2. Time Lapse and Monitoring
This session ties the acquisition research and the method development discussed in the next sessions together to support monitoring. This is rapidly growing into one of the primary applications of our geophysics, and refinement of methods to be effectively and efficiently applied is a critical task.

- Session 3. Inversion and Processing
Amplitude inversion and imaging/processing have both been the subjects of intensive work in 2020. The increasingly detailed use of reflection strengths to determine reservoir properties, and the link between HPC and blending have been particularly emphasized.

Day 2 (December 4th, 2020)
- Session 4. Full Waveform Inversion
In this session we summarize our efforts in developing FWI for the reservoir, for monitoring of production, injection, storage; this requires high resolution, multiparameter subsurface models to be inferred, and for confusion between those parameters and source locations and signatures to be managed. It also requires us adapt and grow our ability to incorporate prior information and constraints.

- Session 5. Machine Learning and Data Science
The CREWES Data Science initiative, led by Daniel Trad and Marcelo Guarido, has made important progress in several areas, including wave simulation, modeling, and inversion. This includes advances in supervised and unsupervised method development, and the grey area between them. The team has also been involved in several machine learning challenges and competitions in 2020. We end the session with a special presentation by Brian Russell on unsupervised classification.

Day 3 (December 5th, 2020)
This course is a growth and extension of courses the group has put on in recent years, both after the Sponsors' Meeting and for various sponsor companies. Some new features: it uses tools which are entirely online, and so does not require any downloading of apps on the participants' side. With many in the geophysical community becoming expert in the area, the course now assumes a basic comfort level with machine learning, and goes a little deeper.
