Introduction

In 2003 the Commission on Controlled Source Seismology CCSS) became a division of IASPEI, the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior and re-organized into IASPEI's Working/Task Group on Seismic Imaging of the Lithosphere (WGSIL) operating under its Commission on Tectonophysics and Crustal Structure.

Their latest report is available at http://www.iaspei.org/commissions/CTCS/mooney.pdf

CCSS and now WGSIL workshops date back over 35 years. The last, the 2003 Virginia workshop was the 12th in the series. Previous workshops were held in Dublin Ireland (1999), Cambridge UK (1996), Moscow Russia (1993), Kiel Germany (1990), Whistler Canada (1987), Susono Japan (1985), Einsiedeln Switzerland (1983), Park City USA (1980), ? (late 1970's), ? (mid-1970's), and Leningrad USSR (1968).
