Banff 2018 International Induced Seismicity Workshop: Oct. 24-27, 2018

The Banff 2018 induced seismicity workshop, hosted by the Canadian Induced Seismicity Collaboration ( www.inducedseismicity.ca ) and the Canadian Society for Unconventional Resources ( www.csur.com ), will bring together academics, industry and regulators to discuss learning from induced seismicity. The theme of the workshop is bridging and integrating knowledge across sectors, and across different induced seismicity settings and types. The workshop will be held in Banff, Alberta, a national park setting in Canada’s Rocky Mountains that is known worldwide for its scenic beauty. The format will be a single oral session, capped at 150 participants (including academics, industry, regulators; from Canada, the U.S., Europe and China); the workshop will strike a balance between regions and sectors to stimulate comprehensive discussions that encompass many perspectives. The number of formal talks will be limited to allow ample Q&A and a discussion panel for each session. Lively interactive poster sessions will facilitate wide-ranging presentations and discussions. The program will include sessions on Processes leading to large failure events, Hazard and Mitigation, High-quality datasets: Hits and Misses, Regulatory and Policy approaches, Data mining with novel analysis techniques, and Concluding Panel Discussion. General information on the workshop is posted in www.inducedseismicity.ca/Banff2018 and will be updated as more material becomes available.
