Exciting news! We're transitioning to the Statewide California Earthquake Center. Our new website is under construction, but we'll continue using this website for SCEC business in the meantime. We're also archiving the Southern Center site to preserve its rich history. A new and improved platform is coming soon!

Submit a session proposal to 2009 Fall AGU Meeting

Date: 05/22/2009

Forwarded announcement from Suzan van der Lee, Northwestern:

Proposals for scientific sessions at the 2009 AGU Fall meeting are being accepted through http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm09/ until 12 June. Seismology Session Proposals are very welcome and we encourage you to consider and submit a proposal to convene such a session. AGU guidelines for proposing sessions are listed below. Our dynamic earth and community facilities are providing exciting times for seismologists and we hope you will help to have the richness of seismology research represented in a wide range of AGU sessions. Thank you for proposing a session!

AGU session proposal guidelines:

- A session proposal should be submitted only once, and to the S (for Seismology) section. Other sections or focus groups may be identified as possible joint sponsors.

- Proposals for sessions that cover multiple disciplines may be appropriate for consideration as Union sessions.

- Tribute Sessions are NOT Allowed: The primary criterion for proposing sessions should be based on scientific value. A celebratory or memorial focus for a session cannot be approved.

- All co-conveners listed on the session proposal must have agreed to participate as an organizer of the session.

- The Program Committee approves session proposals by the end of June. Notification of approval will be sent to you, the conveners, shortly thereafter. It is possible that conveners of two or more similar sessions may be asked to combine efforts, or the conveners may be asked to modify the scope of the proposal, or incorporate minor edits.

- An approved session is not guaranteed an Oral session.

- The session descriptions will be published on the AGU Web in mid-July to promote the session.

- Invited authors are limited to only four per approved session. Conveners should not invite authors until after the session has been approved.

- Feel free to contact the seismology program committee for the 2009 Fall AGU meeting at suzan@earth.northwestern.edu with your questions.
