[iris-bulk] SSA-07 Special Session: New Developments in Semi-automatic and Fully-automatic tools in Seismic Data Analysis

[IRIS]

Dear Colleagues:

Please note the following special session for the 2007 SSA meeting in  
Hawaii. Online abstract submission closes this Friday, January 12.

New Developments in Semi-automatic and Fully-automatic tools in  
Seismic Data Analysis

  Decreased monitoring thresholds and increased expectations for  
faster and more sophisticated products from the seismological  
community have led to the inevitable need for more automatic or semi- 
automatic data analysis methods. Evaluations of source parameters,  
signal quality, structural interpretation, etc. are important for  
members of the seismological community, as well as public and private  
constituents for a variety of time-critical applications. These needs  
for automated tools transcend the various disciplines within  
seismology, as well as the multiple tasks of seismologists and those  
to whom they report. Fortunately increasing computer capacity,  
available digital waveform data, and growing maturity of our  
understanding of the processing algorithms involved have allowed  
partial or complete automation of many tasks that were done with  
extensive human intervention only a few years ago.

We welcome contributions for all aspects of new automation and semi- 
automation in the realm of seismic data analysis and reporting -  
including but not limited to: automatically adaptive digital  
filtering, autopicking, auto-location, hands-off updating of velocity  
modeling or seismic imaging, seismic hazard analysis, eruption  
probabilities, tsunami warning or critical information releases to  
emergency responders.
