[iris-bulk] AGU Special Session Announcement: G-02 Real-time GPS/Seismology

[Paul Bodin]

Dear Colleagues,

We'd like to encourage you to submit a contributed abstract for  
session G02, "From Microns to Meters and Milliseconds to Days:  
Towards Integration of High-Rate GPS Measurements and Real-Time  
Seismic Data" to be held at the 2007 Fall AGU meeting in San  
Francisco.  The goal of this session is to bring together researchers  
from a variety of backgrounds to present work related to the  
collection and use of high rate GPS data and its integration with  
seismic observations.  We look forward to your contribution on this  
important and timely topic.

Abstract submissions are due Sept. 6, 2007.  More information can be  
found at http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm07/.

Best Regards,
Jessica, John, Peggy, and Paul

G02 - From Microns to Meters and Milliseconds to Days: Towards  
Integration of High-Rate GPS Measurements and Real-Time Seismic Data

Conveners: J. Murray, J. Langbein, P. Hellweg, and P. Bodin

Session description:

In recent years GPS data sampled at 1 Hz or greater have provided  
valuable constraints in a variety of crustal deformation studies.  
Combining high-rate GPS data with recordings from inertial  
seismometers significantly expands the observable frequency and  
amplitude range of ground motion. Using these data types together  
could greatly improve rapid assessment of tsunami threat, ground  
failure, finite fault sources, volcanic activity, and immediate  
postseismic stress-transfer. However, although increasingly  
available, real-time high-rate GPS data have yet to be fully  
integrated with seismic data for monitoring and event response. This  
session will explore current capabilities and future directions for  
effectively using high-rate GPS data in these contexts, especially,  
but not limited to, their use in combination with seismic  
observations. We encourage submissions that combine these data types  
for monitoring, event response, and calibration, describe useful  
innovations for collection and processing (particularly of GPS  
observations), or characterize expected accuracy and ways to improve  
it. Furthermore, we seek submissions that present results from  
scientific investigations using high-rate GPS data, that assess the  
contribution of high-rate data to such studies, or that propose new  
applications for these observations.
