SCEC Community Earth Models User Survey
|
The Statewide California Earthquake Center (SCEC) hosts and supports the development of a wide range of Community Earth Models (CEMs) that describe various critical aspects of the lithosphere and asthenosphere of California and beyond. The CEM developers seek your feedback in order to collect information about who has been using CEMs and what for. We also seek feedback about how we can increase CEM usage. Such information is valuable for the CEM group as it can help us better understand our user base and use cases.
|
|
To provide feedback, a brief survey is linked below. The survey will remain open until Friday September 27th at 5pm Pacific Daylight Time.
|
If you have any questions/concerns, please reach out to the CEM co-leaders (see below).

Tom Hanks Memorial Symposium, October 17, 2024
|
Tom Hanks, leading earthquake scientist, generous mentor and life-long friend and colleague to many, passed away earlier this year. We all surely miss him. To honor him, his life, and scientific legacy, we are hosting an in-person symposium, and you're invited.
|
|
Thursday October 17, 2024, 9 am – 5 pm (doors open at 8; happy hour from 5pm – 6pm).
|
|
Moffett Field, Mountain View, CA
|
Hosted by the USGS Earthquake Science Center
|
This will be a celebration of both his life and work. Presentations will be focused on aspects of Tom's research that continue to resonate in the community with personal reflections interspersed. Let’s come together to share some of Tom’s scientific contributions as well as share memories and stories from our time together.
|
In addition to our full program, we will have space at the symposium for people to share photos and written remembrances, in both physical and digital format. If you have any memories or mementos to share, please upload digital material here, or bring physical/printed material to the symposium. Digital material will either be printed and displayed or used in the slideshow (without sound).
|
We will also have memory cards available on October 17, on which you can write a story or memory, to be pinned on the display boards.

BSSA Call for Papers: Special Issue on Earthquake Hazards 25 Years After Chi-Chi
|
The Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (BSSA) is soliciting papers for a Special Issue on Earthquake Hazards 25 Years after Chi-Chi: Learning from the Past to Prepare for the Future.
|
The devastating 21 September 1999, Mw 7.6 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan was one of many strong and damaging earthquakes across the globe that year. Turkey, California and Mexico also were struck by earthquakes (Mw 7.6 Izmit, 17 August 1999; Mw 7.2 Duzce, 12 November 1999; Mw 7.2 Hector Mine, 16 October 1999; Mw 7.5 San Baltazar Loxicha, 30 September 1999).
|
Subsequently, significant efforts were undertaken by academic, engineering, and governmental bodies to enhance earthquake preparedness for future events. Twenty-five years later, what are the lessons learned from their work, and from other responses to earthquake hazards in the last quarter-century? How do we apply these lessons from past events to develop and implement earthquake risk mitigation actions? We aim to raise global awareness on earthquake hazard and the importance of learning from past events to prepare for the future.
|
Deadline for Submission: 6 March 2025
|
Articles accepted to this BSSA Special Issue will be published online soon after acceptance and collectively in print in the October 2025 issue. Papers will be reviewed as they are received and published online prior to the print issue.

[SZ4D] Deadline Approaching! Subduction Zone Time Series Legacy Data
|
Call for Contribution: Subduction Zone Time Series Legacy Data
|
|
Deadline: October 1st, 2024
|
Workshop Dates: October 28 - November 1, 2024
|
SZNet is inviting researchers with knowledge of inaccessible time series datasets to give a short (15 minute) talk describing the scientific importance of the data and the issues involved in its archiving. Speakers should present data that they are willing to share with the wider scientific community, but that needs technical or financial help in making more accessible.
|
These talks will help identify and raise awareness about existing unarchived/inaccessible time series datasets that could be of benefit to the subduction zone geohazards community if openly available, thus creating exciting opportunities to leverage existing resources for new collaboration.
|
Please use the form below to register to give a short (15 minute) talk about an existing dataset(s) that you would like to make accessible to the wider scientific community.
|
These talks will be featured at SZNet’s second virtual workshop that will address unarchived data that could benefit from public, open access. For the purpose of this workshop, the focus will be on time series data relevant to subduction zones geohazards such as regional seismic or geodetic data. These data types share some common problems and could benefit from conversations about a common solution.
