2008 IRIS/SSA Distinguished Lectureship Call for Nominations

Deadline: February 16, 2007

IRIS and SSA are pleased to announce the sixth year of this jointly- 
sponsored annual national lecture series in seismology. The selection  
committee seeks nominations from the seismological community for two  
lecturers for 2008. The general goal of the program is to increase  
the general public’s awareness of relevance and excitement for  
seismology through increased exposure.

Each of the two lectures will be given multiple times to general  
audiences at major university and/or museum venues with target  
audiences of up to several hundred. The general scope of the research  
presented must have clear and acknowledged tie-ins to SSA and IRIS.  
IRIS Education and Outreach and SSA will cover costs and assist with  
presentation, preparation, travel and other expenses. Each lecturer  
will also receive a $1000 honorarium.

Nominations must include a vision statement, including a specific  
description of how the proposed presentation will fulfill the  
outreach goals of the lectureship program. Past experience and  
perspective on successfully communicating seismological ideas to  
large public audiences are desirable. Self-nominations are  
encouraged. For full consideration, nominations must be received by  
February 16, 2007.

More information, including past speakers and their presentations can
