SRL Call for Papers: Measuring and Monitoring Seismic Instrumentation
|
|
Deadline for Submission: 2 March 2026
|
Inertial broadband seismometers, digitizers and other modern monitoring tools are now often deployed in the field for long time intervals to measure earthquakes, explosions and other signals of interest. They allow high quality measurements over broad ranges of frequency, while also resolving them with very high resolution even under rough field conditions. Modern feedback seismometers, in particular, are precision measuring tools in the same league as other instruments designed for use in clean, stable laboratory environments.
|
We invite all those interested in seismic instrumentation and calibration techniques to contribute their ideas, procedures and results to this focus section of SRL, including manufacturers, users and metrologists. Topics include calibration techniques for broadband seismometers and other associated instrumentation such as digitizers, infrasound sensors or deformation measuring devices. Evaluating the precision and uncertainties of these instruments, their susceptibility to environmental conditions, the impact of installation methods and procedures, and the extent to which the uncertainty in their calibration affects the models used for the interpretation of seismic data are also of interest.

|
Deadline for Submission: 2 March 2026
|
Articles accepted to this SRL Focus Section on Measuring and Monitoring Seismic Instrumentation will be published online soon after acceptance and collectively in print in the September 2026 issue. Papers will be reviewed as they are received and published online prior to the print issue.

Navigating Career Transitions workshop on June 16-26
|
At the invitation of the Seismological Society of America, Ross Stein (Temblor) and Ellen Shulman (CareerGenerations) will be giving an immersive online workshop, "Navigating Career Transitions," during June 16-26 to help young earth scientists at universities and federal agencies whose futures are clouded by probationary firings, reductions in force, canceling or freezing of grant funds, and visa revocations.
|
The workshop is free to members of the Seismological Society of America. SSA student membership is $35/yr, and full membership is modest.
|
|
The workshop is aimed at moving from anxiety to action, with revamped and targeted CV's and LinkedIn profiles, new networking strategies, and an understanding of the earth scientist job market in the US and fellowships abroad. During each of the four workshop sessions, we will be hearing vignettes from young scientists whose careers departed from academia and federal agencies, or who went abroad to pursue their research.
