The Center for Wave Phenomena (CWP) advances the science of wave propagation through innovative research in seismic imaging, inversion, and monitoring. We unite mathematical rigor, computational excellence, and real-world geoscience to develop next-generation technologies in exploration, subsurface imaging, and wave physics. Through collaboration with industry, government, and academia, we empower a diverse community of researchers to pursue cutting-edge solutions to complex Earth and engineered-system challenges.
