Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit an abstract for our upcoming session “Tomographic imaging and geological models: from the upper mantle to the near surface – P17” at the SGI-SIMP Meeting, which will be held in Padua, September 15-17, 2026 (Italy).
Tomographic geophysical techniques are evolving rapidly, with recent advancements in instrumentation and inversion algorithms enabling unprecedented spatial resolution. However, high-resolution 3-D and 4-D imaging alone are often not enough to resolve geological ambiguities. Our session aims to bridge this gap by showcasing integrated, multidisciplinary approaches that combine geophysical tomography with geo-structural, seismological, petrography and volcanological data.
We welcome contributions across all scales, including but not limited to:
-
Regional Mantle-Crust Studies: Seismic tomography integrated with geology, petrology, and numerical modeling for geodynamic reconstructions.
-
Active Fault Systems: Surveys that combine tomographic imaging (seismic, local earthquake tomography, magnetotelluric, electrical resistivity, etc) and geological models to clarify fault geometry and the interplay between lithology, hydraulic properties, and crustal fluids.
-
Volcanic Imaging: Investigating volcano-tectonic structures, plumbing systems, melt reservoirs, and hydrothermal systems.
-
Fluid Reservoirs & Resources: Geophysical tomography for fluid reservoirs characterization.
-
Shallow Structures: High-resolution geophysical imaging for tectonic, sedimentary, and hazard assessment studies.
Submission Deadline: Monday, May 11 2026 h. 19.00 (CET)

We look forward to seeing you at the congress and exploring the future of integrated geophysical imaging together.
