Special Interest Group (SIG) Meetings

Plenary Sessions

Unlocking the Secrets of Subduction Zones
Organizers: Jay Pulliam and Emily Roland

There is no better target than subduction zones when it comes to multi-disciplinary, collaborative, and integrative science.  This session aims to explore different aspects of subduction zones to enhance communication between different fields and advance our understanding.

  • Paleoseismology: reconstruction of historic events using microfossils
  • Dynamic rupture simulations of megathrust events
  • LFEs, non-volcanic tremors, updip/downdip limits
  • Subduction zone structure: tomography, reflectivity, receiver functions, etc.
  • Integration of seismology with other fields, collaboration beyond seismology
  • Go beyond site-by-site examination of subduction zones

Renaissance Seismology: Seismology for Non-Traditional Targets
Organizers: Kate Allstadt and Victor Tsai

While researchers have long studied and appreciated the rich content of seismic waveforms, the last decade has witnessed a renaissance in the breadth of applications of seismology. This is a direct response to society’s need to better track and understand the changing dynamics of the Earth. No discipline better captures the literal “pulse of the planet” than seismology. This session highlights the breadth of these applications and the scientific targets that are quickly becoming standard fields of application in seismology including:

  • Surface processes: landslides, river erosion, bedload transport
  • Oceans: seismic oceanography, ocean noise, whale migration
  • Hydrology: ground/surface water, poroelasticity
  • Climate: sea ice, polar studies, microseism evolution
  • Glaciers: iceberg calving, outburst floods, bedload assessment

Nexus of Technology and Methodology: Pushing the Limits of Resolution
Organizers: Katie Keranen and Fan-Chi Lin

Advances in instrument technology toward smaller, more portable sensors have revolutionized data acquisition, which allows for rapid deployment of thousands of sensors for continuous recording. This session highlights projects that use large data sets to push the limits of resolution in subsurface imaging.

  • Large N/extreme large N experiments and advancements in interferometric techniques
  • Combined active/passive acquisitions and analysis techniques, best practices
  • Developments in instrumentation
  • Full wavefield imaging and pushing on the limits of tomographic resolution

The When, Where, and How of Induced Earthquakes
Organizers: Mike Brudzinski and Elizabeth Cochran

Exciting observations and theories are put forth to explain induced seismicity.  This session aims to cover a wide range of topics from laboratory experiments to observations to societal impact.

  • Micro to macro: earthquake experiments in the lab
  • Observations: relationships between seismicity and human activities/changes in environmental conditions
  • Modelling: parameters that affect earthquake generation (simulations, ideas, etc.)
  • Community/public response, monitoring, new tools & techniques

Seismology Across Scales: Enhanced Imaging and Source Characterization
Organizers: Gary Pavlis and Donna Shillington

The USArray Flex Array program was designed to provide higher resolution targeted data to augment the Transportable Array. Numerous projects are successfully blending multiple scales of data such as concurrent FA/TA deployments and coincident active/passive data acquisition. This session highlights advances in integration of seismic data across multiple scales.

  • Projects and techniques that successfully integrate concurrent FA/TA deployments
  • Benefits and pitfalls of multi-scale data
  • Understanding crustal/mantle/lithosphere/LAB structure and evolution
  • Seismology in the oceans: extending capabilities into the oceans 
  • Active/passive imaging

The Legacy of the Transportable Array
Organizers: Robin Matoza and Frank Vernon

The brief two-year installation of the Transportable Array (TA) provided a high-resolution seismic snapshot of much of North America. In many regions, however, the TA changed the long-term research and monitoring capabilities as well as introducing new technologies or expanding the footprint of existing facilities. The TA has proven its reach far beyond its nominal two-year seismic installation. This session highlights science derived from facilities that were created, or permanently changed, by the passage of the TA.

  • Science that could not have been done with a 2 yr. seismic deployment
  • New and expanded seismic facilities: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Yukon, CEUSN, Cascadia
  • Ancillary data types: barometric pressure, infrasound, strong motion, soil properties

 

Beyond the Workstation: Seismology in a Post-Desktop World
Organizers: Chuck Ammon and Chen Ji

The number of networked accelerometers in the world is several orders of magnitude larger than it was a decade ago. Efforts to build dedicated networks of low cost seismology-specific sensors are complemented by the explosive growth of smart phones and the so-called Internet of Things. These sensor revolutions are matched by new ways of distribution and even processing the data they produce. Techniques that once required weeks of research time are becoming near real-time open-source commodities available to the full community. These changes represent paradigm shifts in how seismology is done. This session seeks to stimulate thinking about the future of seismology by showcasing science that aggregates these networks or helps facilitate the use of disparate instrumentation.

  • Science with low cost, built-in, or “personal” seismographs
  • “Dirt-to-desktop” automated handling of data and metadata 
  • New opportunities for seismology education and outreach
  • How do/can research-grade tools shape the immediate response to large earthquakes and tsunamis?
  • Recent progress in joint data management/sharing
  • Applications to earthquake early warning systems
  • What research is well poised to become “on demand” in the near future?

Special Interest Group (SIG) Meetings

Seismology and Social Media: Effectively Communicating Science Online
Conveners: Kasey Aderhold and Andy Frassetto

There are many ways to leverage social media for personal and societal gain. Broader impact requirements can be developed using blogs, webinars, open source software/data, citizen science projects, and massive open online courses (MOOCs). Scientists can reach directly to the public and answer their questions, or connect to other researchers to discuss recent events or publications. However, efforts online can also devolve into a black hole of wasted time on click bait, trolling, and pseudoscience. Here we would like to bring together people who are interested in developing the online seismology community in rewarding and productive ways. We will have "pop-up" presentations (≤5 minutes) on specific examples of using social media as a tool in research, teaching, or outreach and conclude with open discussion on how we can better utilize the online platform.

 

Best Practices in Observational Seismological Research and Education
Conveners: Meghan Miller and Danielle Sumy

Have you ever felt like you reinvent the wheel, either in your classroom or out in the field? Wonder what you will teach in a few weeks, and ask yourself if these resources are already out there? Wish you could have a PASSCAL technician with you on every field deployment? Join us at this community forum to discover what education and field resources already exist within the IRIS website and databases, and voice your opinion to help both IRIS EPO and IS identify and document best practices material.

 

EarthScope Synthesis: Participate!
Conveners: Elisabeth Nadin and Carl Tape

As the end of the formal EarthScope program approaches, it is timely for the geosciences community to work towards synthesis of multiple types of data focused on a single region or topic. For example, data from USArray, PBO, and SAFOD activities could be linked with results from other disciplines. EarthScope science offers many opportunities for synthesis, both within and between disciplines. Over the next four years, the EarthScope National Office at the University of Alaska Fairbanks will support a series of roughly 10 EarthScope Synthesis Workshops, each of which will bring a small group of scientists together from multiple disciplines.

This SIG will (1) explain the process for submitting (and selecting) synthesis workshops, (2) explain the expected products for the workshops, (3) seek feedback from attendees on how to use the workshops to effectively synthesize all EarthScope results (for example, focus on regionalization or on processes?), and (4) introduce the first four workshops. We encourage others to consider proposing synthesis workshops.

 

Data Processing Infrastructure for Seismology
Conveners: Gary Pavlis and Frank Vernon

Current software tools used for data processing in earthquake seismology have much in common with the way instrumentation was prior to the birth of IRIS.   In the same way instrumentation was custom developed at a few places in the 1970s, in software today we have a heterogeneous mix of stuff developed independently by multiple groups.  Just as mixing instrumentation in field experiments was a problem in the 1970s mixing software tools today is a challenge that is limiting progress in the field.  Most existing tools are based on archaic concepts that limit performance, interoperability, and maintainability.   The objective of this SIG is to identify short-term and long-term goals to address this problem.

 

Work/Life Balance and Time Management: How to Increase Productivity while Staying Sane
Conveners: Danielle Sumy and Christian Poppeliers

Ever wonder how to balance professional and personal priorities, or how you’ll fit all of those priorities in your day-to-day life? The IRIS Early Career Investigators (ECI) Working Group has asked five panelists to read a different book on work/life balance and time management strategies and implement the suggested work/life balance techniques. The panelists will report back to the community about what worked, what didn’t, and what will become a mainstay in their daily/weekly routine. Our panelists represent a range of career stages and trajectories, from junior and senior professionals in the academy, research, and industry.  Come hear about the pros/cons of different work/life balance and time management strategies, and walk away with tips and tricks that will help you maintain balance and stay sane! (We acknowledge the Arizona State University School of Earth and Space Exploration Postdoctoral Development Program for the idea.)
Panelists:
Luciana Astiz, National Science Foundation
Pete Davis, Director of Project IDA, Global Seismographic Network
Maureen Long, Associate Professor, Yale University
Jay Pulliam, W. M. Keck Foundation Professor of Geophysics, Baylor University
Wes Thelen, Cascade Volcano Observatory, USGS

 

Wavefields Community Demonstration Experiment
Conveners: Justin Sweet and Kent Anderson

IRIS is pleased to announce that a Wavefields Demonstration Community Experiment will be conducted this summer in northern Oklahoma.  An experiment oversight committee has been assembled and approved by the IRIS Board to guide the execution of this experiment.  This experiment will make use of cutting-edge three-component nodal-type sensors.  These 5Hz sensors are about the size of a paint can, have onboard GPS timing, and can run independently for up to 30 days.  IRIS plans to deploy these sensors as a piggyback to an existing nodal deployment led by Katie Keranen.  The deployment will take advantage of the 1000+ single channel nodes and 45 broadband sensors from Keranen (data available after moratorium) with instruments provided by IRIS and IRIS community members (~300+ 3-C nodes, 40+ broadbands, and 10 infrasound sensors) to be deployed in the same area.  The experiment design is a collaboration between PIs Keranen (Cornell University); Heather DeShon, Brian Stump, Chris Hayward (Southern Methodist University); Michael Brudzinski (University of Miami-Ohio); Susan Bilek (New Mexico Tech); Marianne Karplus (University of Texas - El Paso); FanChi Lin (University of Utah); Chuck Langston (University of Memphis); and Xiaowei Chen (University of Oklahoma).

 

Engaging undergraduate students in research, in the classroom and the field/lab
Conveners: John Taber and Steve Jaume

Early exposure to research experiences has been shown to be effective in the recruitment of students, improving the retention in degree programs, and contributing to overall increased student success.  This is particularly true for students from underrepresented minorities, and therefore may provide an opportunity to increase diversity in the geosciences, particularly if opportunities are provided early enough.  However, student ability to engage in research varies considerably from freshman and sophomores who have limited content exposure and research skills, to seniors who are ready to engage in graduate-level independent research.  This SIG will explore options to provide research experiences for undergraduates throughout their educational careers. This will include discussions of how to include simple yet authentic seismology research in the classroom for freshman and sophomores as well as more in-depth options for older students.  Successful examples from the geoscience and seismology communities will be presented, both for classroom and independent research.  A goal of the discussion will be to share potential approaches, tools and resources that would help lower the barrier for faculty to involve undergraduates in research activities earlier in their careers.

 

HPC for seismology (data and simulations)
Conveners: Carl Tape and Arthur Rodgers

As the volume of archived seismic data increases, the need to have these data processed in new and more powerful computational systems has become more important. A new working group at IRIS, the High Performance Computing and Seismic Data Working Group (HPCWG), will focus on the use of the seismic data available in the IRIS DMC storage systems within high performance computing environments. The HPCWG will address data-driven seismological research requiring HPC resources, either for data processing or for simulation-based data assimilation. This SIG seeks input from seismic data users or seismic modelers who envision opportunities for computational resources.

 

Advances in Quick Deploy strategies for Broad- and Intermediate- period deployments
Conveners: Lara Wagner, Diana Roman and Kent Anderson

This SIG will focus on the status of broad- and intermediate- period station design, with an emphasis on quick deploy boxes.  As the interest in deploying ever larger numbers of instruments for long term and/or broad/intermediate-band seismic deployments grows, so too does a need to be able to deploy the ancillary equipment (digitizers/dataloggers, batteries, GPS units, solar panels, etc) in an efficient and robust manner to decrease deployment time and increase the likelihood of successful data collection.

 

Open Sesame: Piping more data into the public domain
Conveners: Wang-Ping Chen, Tim Ahern and Xiufen Zheng

According to statistics reported at the 2014 Workshop, an overwhelming majority of data traffic from the IRIS DMS goes to places where few data have been contributed. To address this imbalance, we propose an SIG that will invite a small number of seismologists, who have successfully opened data archives to the public, to share their experience in this respect. Their talks will serve as launch points for identifying various factors that hinder opening up more data, and for brainstorming ideas that can help alleviate the imbalance. The proposed co-chairs have personal experience in this regard and plan to invite some key speakers from China, Japan and Taiwan to address this SIG.
