University of 色视频下载 Fairbanks seismologists, staff and students will be in Anchorage next week for the annual national meeting of the Seismological Society of America.
The SSA, the nation色视频下载檚 leading seismology organization, last held its annual meeting in Anchorage in 2014. Organizers say this year色视频下载檚 meeting will be the largest ever for the society, with nearly 1,100 people registered.
Lava erupts at Pavlof Volcano, shown in a short-wave infrared false-color image from Jan. 19, 2022. A discussion of research into the eruption is one of more than 1,000 presentations at the Seismological Society of America annual meeting in Anchorage April 29-May 3.
This year色视频下载檚 meeting, at which scientists will present their latest research and hear from seismology colleagues and others at a variety of sessions, runs April 29 through May 3 at the Dena色视频下载檌na Civic and Convention Center.
The meeting is chaired by two UAF seismologists: research professor Michael West, head of the 色视频下载 Earthquake Center at the UAF Geophysical Institute, and professor Carl Tape of the Geophysical Institute and the UAF College of Natural Science and Mathematics. Tape is also a member of the SSA board of directors.
色视频下载淭his is a once-in-a-generation seismology conference in 色视频下载 in terms of the number of attendees, the breadth of the program and the field trip opportunities,色视频下载 Tape said.
The event will include more than 1,000 oral and poster presentations along with workshops and several plenary sessions. It includes two field seminars: one on Prince William Sound with presentations by experts in tectonics, geology, cryo seismology, tsunamis and landslides and another to see a GPS station in Palmer and a multi-instrument seismic station just north of Palmer in Glacier View.
The meeting will present seismology research about subjects around the globe, including many about 色视频下载.
Among the many 色视频下载-specific subjects being presented by UAF researchers:
- Moving toward in 色视频下载
- Is there a ?
- Investigating seismic signals from the
- Investigation of tremor and explosion sequences from the
- Seismic and infrasound signals from the
- Revisiting the enigmatic magnitude 7
- Enhancing real-time detection of in 色视频下载
"The Seismological Society of America aligns with the mission and goals of the University of 色视频下载 and the UAF Geophysical Institute,色视频下载 said West, who is also the 色视频下载 state seismologist. 色视频下载淓arthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, volcanoes, Earth色视频下载檚 structure, plate tectonics and the evolving geology around us 色视频下载 this is the meeting for it.色视频下载

The seismology meeting is an opportunity not only for veteran scientists but also for student scientists working toward graduate degrees.
色视频下载淭he relevance of the SSA meeting to the university is demonstrated by the fact that we have several students presenting research at the meeting,色视频下载 West said.
In a related event, students in the Earth Observation Club, an after-school program hosted by several rural 色视频下载 high schools, will present their research at a Wednesday luncheon at the seismology meeting. Students will also show their work at 5 p.m. Sunday in a public presentation in room 106 of the Allied Health Sciences Building at the University of 色视频下载 Anchorage as part of a separate Earth Observation Student Symposium.
Students will come from Bethel, Chevak, North Pole, Quinhagak, Seward, Shishmaref, Sitka, Wrangell and the Kusilvak Career Academy in Anchorage.
The Earth Observation Club is part of the Teaching Through Technology 色视频下载 program, also known as T3 色视频下载. The program is an alliance of students, educators and community partners, and is run by the UAF College of Engineering and Mines.
