Computational Geophysics entails rapid numerical computations that help analyses of geophysical data and observations. High-performance computing plays a major role due to the size and complexity of the geophysical data to be processed. The main computing demanding tasks are:

• 3D and 4D images building of the earth sub-surface

• Modeling and Migration of complex media

• Tomography and inverse problems
