IRIS Workshop 2018: Foundations, Frontiers, and Future Facilities for Seismology
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Albuquerque, Albuquerque, NM, USA

Since its inception in 1984, IRIS has built excellent foundational facilities for seismologists to study the Earth’s interior, earthquakes and other natural hazards. This workshop will highlight exciting scientific advances using current facilities, and explore future frontier facilities, activities and techniques. In part, the future of IRIS includes the expansion of the facilities to support interdisciplinary research activities among the solid Earth, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere and other surface processes, and to create a more diverse geoscience community.

Plenary Sessions

Science Built on a Strong Foundation

Organizers: Lara Wagner (Carnegie), Jeffrey Park (Yale), Brian Stump (SMU), John Louie (UNR)

Speakers: Ved Lekic, Anne Sheehan, Jeff Freymueller, Stefany Sit

IRIS provides facilities critical for the advance of seismology and Earth science. As an introduction and review of IRIS for attendees, new and old, we highlight the current science made possible by these facilities, with an eye towards what can be possible with improvements in the foundational facilities.

  • GSN
  • PASSCAL
  • Data Services
  • Education and Outreach Capabilities

Advancing Earth System Science with Geophysical Observations

Organizers: Greg Waite (Michigan Tech), Ved Lekic (Maryland)

Speakers: Yihe Huang, Emily Hopper, Chris Johnson

Seismic, geodetic, MT and other geophysical observations provide power tools for studying diverse Earth system processes with a remarkable range of spatial and temporal scales.

  • Global Earth Structure and Dynamics
  • Structure of Deep Mantle and Core
  • Lithospheric Structure and Plate Boundary Dynamics
  • Fault Zones and the Earthquake Cycle
  • Magmas and Volatiles in the Crust and Mantle

Mining Existing Seismic Data with New Techniques

Organizers: Brandon Schmandt (UNM), Gregory Beroza (Stanford)

Speakers: Karianne Bergen, Wenyuan Fan, Robin Matoza

Applying new seismic detection techniques to massive seismic datasets at IRIS DMC and other federated data centers can identify many unrecognized seismic events, which help to improve our understanding of earthquake physics and interaction.

  • New array-processing imaging techniques 
  • Massive-scale seismic event detection 
  • Back-projection of recent large earthquakes with USArray and GSN
  • Machine-learning and other techniques for new event detection/classification

Identifying and Mitigating Hazards in the 21st Century

Organizers: Aaron Wech (USGS), Richard Allen (Berkeley)

Speakers: Diego Melgar, Seth Moran, Nicholas van Der Elst

From volcanic eruptions to earthquakes, seismic and geodetic observations are needed in order to help identify regions of increased risk, better understand the underlying processes and mitigate the effects of both natural, and in some cases, manmade disasters.

  • Natural Hazards/Disasters
  • Earthquakes and Tsunamis
  • Induced Seismicity
  • Volcanic Eruptions
  • Space Weather
  • Manmade Hazards
  • Nuclear Hazards

Supporting Science and Discovery beneath the Oceans

Organizers: Anne Sheehan (CU) and Nathaniel Miller (USGS)

Speakers: William Wilcock, Susan Schwartz, Lee Freitag

Less than one-third of our planet is easily accessible for direct seismic and geodetic sampling. To improve our understanding of the structure and processes of the entire globe, increased sampling of the ocean bottom is needed. This requires new, next generation seismic and geodetic technology, as well as fully utilizing our present day infrastructure and technology.

  • Seafloor Experiments – current capabilities and successes – seismic and geodetic
  • Seafloor Experiments – present day challenges and limitations
  • Next generation technology- truly transformative, or, what can be realistically achieved
  • Subduction Zone Observatory (SZ4D)

Geophysical Approaches to Understanding the Hydrosphere and Cryosphere

Organizers: Sarah Kruse (USF), Paul Winberry (CWU)

Speakers: Kate Allstadt, Meredith Nettles, Brandon Schmandt

Seismology is increasing being used to study a range of active surface processes, such as glacial motion and river dynamics, because of its non-invasive ability to remotely record signals associated with these shallow processes. We highlight here the range of non-traditional uses of seismic data.

  • Surface Hydrology
  • Critical Zone Processes
  • Glacier/Ice Dynamics

Geophysics at the Frontier: New capabilities and techniques

Organizers: Marianne Karplus (UTEP), Jeroen Tromp (Princeton) 

Speakers: Ebru Bozdag, Eric Kiser, Eileen Martin

As the community expands into more areas of geophysics, and data volumes rapidly increase, we look forward to meeting the needs of the community in the next 10 years. We highlight new types of instrumentation and computing opportunities that will be available in upcoming years, as well as look forward into building a more diverse workforce around these initiatives. 

  • Magnetotellurics
  • Next-gen instrumentation 
  • Atmosphere/Infrasound
  • Uses of big data & HPC
  • Education, Workforce, and Outreach Diversity Initiative
