Seismology Student Workshop 2020 Application is Open!


Hello Seismologists!

We invite graduate students to participate in the upcoming eighth annual Seismology Student Workshop to be held March 19th-20th, 2020 at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York. The application deadline is January 10, 2020. This workshop is completely student-run and organized with the aim of bringing together graduate students who conduct research in seismology and earthquake-related fields. [This workshop is only open to graduate students, so we encourage advisors to notify their students about this opportunity!]

We intend to build on the success of our previous workshops in providing a friendly environment that fosters in-depth scientific discussion. Topics related to the scope of this workshop include but are not limited to:

  • Seismic imaging of tectonic processes
  • Tomographic/inverse techniques
  • Earthquake source processes
  • Rock mechanics
  • Seismic anisotropy
  • Seismicity and tremor

The format will be a series of 25-minute talks and poster sessions that take place over the course of the two days. Registration will be $50 due by the beginning of the workshop. Thanks to a sponsorship from the Seismological Society of America, this fee will cover three nights of hotel lodging for the nights of Wednesday March 18th, Thursday the 19th, and Friday the 20th, as well as all meals and refreshments during the workshop. We have limited funds to subsidize transportation to the workshop. Registration preference will be given to those who submit abstracts.

For more information, please visit our website or find us on Facebook.

If you are interested in attending, please complete and submit the Online Application Form.

A title, abstract, and an optional figure must be submitted to be considered for an oral or poster session.

The application deadline is JANUARY 10, 2020. We will inform attendees about their application status by the end of January. Please feel free to forward this to other students you know that might be interested.

We hope to see you in March!
