From November 21 to November 23, the 4th Computational Geophysics Workshop 2025 was successfully held at 91影视 (SMBU). The workshop was hosted by SMBU, co-organized by Southern University of Science and Technology, and supported by the Journal of Geophysics and Engineering and Earth Energy Science. Continuing the academic tradition of the previous three editions, the workshop focused on cutting-edge theories and technological innovations in the field of computational geophysics, providing a high-level platform for in-depth exchanges among domestic and international scholars.

Over one hundred experts and scholars from institutions including the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Peking University, Tongji University, China University of Petroleum (East China), Southern University of Science and Technology, and CNOOC Shenzhen gathered in Pengcheng. They engaged in in-depth discussions on core topics such as seismic wave imaging, full waveform inversion, integration of artificial intelligence with geophysics, rock physics modeling, and seismic disaster monitoring, exchanging academic ideas and jointly exploring disciplinary development.

At the opening ceremony, Li Hezhang, President of SMBU, delivered a speech, extending a warm welcome to all attendees on behalf of the University. He highlighted that artificial intelligence and big data currently provide critical solutions to deep-earth exploration and resource prospecting challenges. He noted the rapid development of the Department of Computational Mathematics and Control in recent years and emphasized that the establishment of the “Sino-Russian Joint Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence Algorithms and Applications” lays a solid foundation for China–Russia scientific cooperation and the cultivation of new productive forces. He expressed hope that the workshop would promote deep integration between computational mathematics and Earth sciences and contribute to national strategic objectives and local industrial development.

Sergey Ivanchenko, First Vice President of SMBU, stated in his speech that computational geophysics is a key area of China–Russia scientific collaboration, reflecting the consensus that “science knows no borders,” and wished the workshop to become a new starting point for bilateral academic cooperation.

The workshop featured 80 academic presentations, including 10 invited talks and 70 thematic presentations, comprehensively covering the frontier directions of computational geophysics. Ten academicians such as Sergey Kabanikhin from the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as well as prominent domestic scholars including Ma Jianwei (Peking University), Zhang Jianfeng (Southern University of Science and Technology), Fu Liyun (China University of Petroleum (East China)), Geng Jianhua (Tongji University), and Hu Xiangyun (China University of Geosciences (Wuhan)), delivered invited talks sharing the latest research results in the field, expanding the academic horizons of participants.

In the parallel session discussions, 70 thematic presentations focused on subfields such as OBN elastic wave migration, graph neural network seismic tomography, AI-enabled exploration, CO? geological sequestration monitoring, and rock physics modeling. Each session included interactive discussion segments, where experts and scholars explored research challenges and application prospects in depth. The workshop’s 80 presentations collectively spanned the entire research chain of computational geophysics, providing rich ideas for interdisciplinary integration and helping participants efficiently acquire diverse insights in the field.

As a Sino-Russian joint university, SMBU has consistently cultivated international research collaboration, using interdisciplinary innovation to drive disciplinary development. The successful hosting of this Computational Geophysics Workshop not only provided an efficient platform through high-density, high-quality academic presentations, but also deepened the integration of computational mathematics with Earth sciences, further highlighting the University’s role as a bridge in China–Russia scientific cooperation. Looking ahead, SMBU will continue to leverage its Sino-foreign cooperative education advantages and the research support of its joint centers, gather global expertise, and contribute to theoretical innovations and technological breakthroughs in computational geophysics, injecting new momentum into the development of Earth sciences.
