The ERC-funded project GLOBALSEIS has the dual goals to combine finite- frequency body wave data with low-frequency seismic observations in a multiscale global tomographic interpretation, and to open up the oceans for the observation of P wave arrival times using acoustic robots. For this exciting project led by Guust Nolet, we are building up a new research group in global tomography at Geosciences Azur, which comprises the oceanographic observatory in Villefranche-sur-Mer; in particular we seek: (a) an experienced seismologist or computational geophysicist with a proven research record and postdoctoral experience in seismology, wavelet theory and/or high performance computing. Depending on his/her expertise and interests, the succesful applicant will be in charge of one or more crucial aspects of the program and pursue an active research program in global seismic tomography. This is a temporary position that can be extended at least for the duration of the project (5 years). Requirements: A PhD, preferably with two years of postdoctoral or equivalent experience. Experience with software development on compute clusters is desirable, as well as a reasonable understanding of French. (b) a postdoc with experience in the analysis of seismic surface waves and/or normal modes. He/she will expand the data base with low frequency seismic data and interface this with existing inversion software as well as with new, wavelet-based tomographic algorithms, both using parallel programming (MPI). This aspect of the project involves collaborations with Dr. Karin Sigloch at the Ludwig- Maximilian University in Munich, Prof. Ingrid Daubechies at Princeton and Prof. Ying Zhou at Virginia Tech. This is a one-year position that can be extended once, depending on performance. Requirements: PhD and experience in low-frequency seismology. (c) a postdoc with experience in ocean acoustics or marine seismology. The succesful applicant will work with the engineer responsible for the technical development of underwater acoustic floats, be conducting tests and collect ocean acoustic noise data, analyse their variability and develop algorithms for the automatic detection of P-wave arrivals with low signal/noise ratio. The project involves collaboration with Prof. Frederik Simons at Princeton University. This is a one-year position that can be extended once, depending on performance. Requirements: PhD and experience in signal processing. Experience with seagoing campaigns desirable. (d) An engineer with experience in ocean acoustics and/or OBS deployment. The succesful applicant will conduct the development, construction and deployment of sensors for submarine seismology. This is a temporary position that can be extended at least for the duration of the GLOBALSEIS project (5 years). For more information about each of these positions, please contact Guust Nolet (nolet at geoazur.unice.fr).

The meeting will be held 8-10 April, at the Portola Hotel & Spa in Monterey, California. Please note the abstract submission deadline is 11 January. You can visit the meeting website http://www.seismosoc.org/meetings/2009/index.php for more details. Our session announcement is outlined below. We hope you'll consider contributing to the session and joining us in Monterey! Best regards, Charlotte Rowe Seth Moran ---------------------------------------------------------------- Volcano Monitoring Using Seismology and Complementary Methods The field of volcano seismology increasingly faces a dual challenge. On the one hand, volcano observatories are increasingly using data from multiple monitoring fields (seismology, geodesy, gas geochemistry, remote sensing, hydrology, and others), often collected in real time, to achieve a broader understanding and reduce uncertainty in the interpretation of precursory and eruptive phenomena. To take full advantage of such datasets, new analytical programs, graphical user interfaces, and databases are needed for integrating, displaying, and modeling such multiparametric and large datasets. On the other hand, it is still the case that the majority of volcanoes around the world are monitored by just a handful of seismometers. Thus it is also paramount that progress be made in analyzing and modeling such instrument-poor datasets. We invite contributions on any aspect of volcano monitoring, but encourage those that focus either on analyzing multi-parametric datasets or on squeezing as much information as possible from limited monitoring datasets. We especially encourage presentations regarding monitoring and hazard assessment/mitigation at North American volcanoes; however, contributions from other regions are also welcome.

Monterey, CA. Special Session Imaging and Discovery from USArray and EarthScope EarthScope USArray Transportable Array, Flexible Array and Magnetotelluric instruments are providing data that are being used to develop a new generation of high-resolution Earth models and understanding of structure and processes. These instruments have been deployed at unprecedented densities spanning multiple spatial and temporal scales; as of late 2008, data are available from over 650 Transportable Array sites, numerous Flexible Array experiments, and 170 Magnetotelluric Transportable Array sites. A great variety of existing and new techniques have been developed to capitalize on these data and address long-standing questions about structure and wave propagation. This session will focus on studies of Earth structure and processes, ranging from the crust to the core, as facilitated by EarthScope and associated data sets. Papers presenting new processing and interpretation results made possible through the unique aspects of USArray data are particularly encouraged.

This time period presents an opportunity to elucidate these phenomena with unprecedented resolution, as a result of the new wealth of available observations provided by USArray, PBO installations, the growth of permanent monitoring networks, a number of finite-duration field experiments, and the enthusiasm and vigor of groups that have been analyzing and interpreting these data. The results of these studies are now mature enough to begin exploring how they may fit together. Such exploration has a high likelihood of revealing new behaviors, relationships among and questions about the phenomena of slow slip and tremor, which in turn can stimulate the planning of future field experiments. In addition, this provides the opportunity to demonstrate publicly, through the production of a high-visibility publication, the tremendous pay-off of investing in new instrumentation, infrastructure and collaborative research. Goals: Exchange of research results directly relevant to the understanding of slow slip and tremor in Cascadia from January 2007 to present. Generation of an outline of a high-profile, group-authored manuscript[1] (e.g. a Science Review article) highlighting what has been learned about these phenomena from the wealth of new data and studies, and what new questions they may have motivated. Exchange of information about plans underway and ideas for additional experiments related to the ETS event expected in the summer of 2009. Format, Participants, and Venue: This focused, yet informal, workshop will span two full days during March 2009. We propose the following format: Day 1 Concise presentations of results and current interpretations. Small group discussions (e.g. huddles around laptops or the backs of envelopes to show details of datasets, work out ideas, etc.). Brainstorming about relationships, models, etc. that tie diverse studies together. Day 2 Synthesis of previous day Planning for 2009 ETS event. Manuscript drafting. To be productive, participation needs to be limited in size and scope, to include only those involved in studies that pertain directly to understanding slow slip and tremor in Cascadia since January 2007. Although not a strict limit, a target maximum size is 35 people. Anyone is welcome to apply, with participation allotted on a first- come first-serve basis. Unfortunately, at present all participants must provide their own travel support[2]. PLEASE keep in mind that our goal is to be as inclusive as possible. We plan to make some form of teleconferencing possible for the duration of the workshop, and presence at the workshop is not a requirement for inclusion in authorship of the manuscript we envision (although contribution of ideas, words, editing, etc. will be!). Also, please keep in mind that satisfying all of the workshop goals and constraints may make it impossible to satisfy everyone or to score perfectly on all decisions! The likely venues are the University of Washington campus in Seattle or the DOGAMI facility in Portland (choices made to minimize required travel and expense). Please Respond: If you would like to participate, please send the following information to Evelyn (evelynr at usgs.gov) or Joan (gomberg at usgs.gov) by 1/30/09. Preferred location: Seattle or Portland? Dates in March you are NOT available: Sentence or two about your work that relates directly to Cascadia slow slip and tremor from 2007 and beyond: Definitely cannot attend without support (see footnote 2): yes or no? [1] Both Nature and Science permit self-assigned Group Names to be used for papers in which all authors should be credited equally. If used, all contributing authors also will be listed but the Group Name can be used alone or as the first author. Thus, citations would be to the Group Name or Group Name et al. rather than just using the authors listed alphabetically, for example, in which case the lucky person whose last name just happens to be Aardvark gets lots of citations that no one else does!

If so, consider applying for an IRIS Summer Undergraduate Internship (http://www.iris.edu/internship) Once selected, your summer experience will begin with a one-week orientation held on the campus of an IRIS institution the last week of May 25 to 29, 2009 (for those students whose quarter has not yet completed, alternative arrangements can be made). The goal of the orientation period is to develop a strong sense of community among interns, provide training in distance collaboration and introduce you to some of the most exciting aspects of modern seismology. Following this week you will spend 8 to 10 weeks working on a seismo?logical research project with researchers at an IRIS member intuition. Research projects may involve the deployment of seismic instruments in the field (within the US or internationally), and/or analyses of seismic data in a lab setting with the ultimate goal of producing results to be presented at a national scientific meeting. Each project will provide you with ample opportunities to: * conduct research with state of the art geophysical data and leading researchers at IRIS institutions * develop an understanding of scientific inquiry, including designing and conducting scientific investigations, defending scientific argu?ments, and preparing publications * gather, manage, and convey information, using various skills, strat?egies, resources, and * learn, use, and evaluate technologies for the collection and study of geophysical data Your summer research project will culminate with the opportunity to experience the exciting atmosphere of a professional meeting, while presenting your results. In the past, most interns and their hosts have chosen to present at the Fall American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting held in San Francisco in early December. As an IRIS Intern you will receive? * A weekly stipend ($550/week for 9 - 11 weeks) * Funding for travel to the orientation as well as room and board * Funding for travel to the home institution of your research host * Assistance securing housing at the host institution * Funding for any additional expenses related to fieldwork * Funding for travel to a professional meeting to present your results along with the associated meeting costs (travel, registration, abstract submission fee and per diem) The deadline to apply is February 1, 2009 http://www.iris.edu/internship/ --------------------------------- Michael Hubenthal Science Education Specialist IRIS Consortium 607-777-4612 www.IRIS.edu hubenth at iris.edu From irismail at iris.washington.edu Fri Jan 16 08:18:17 2009 From: irismail at iris.washington.edu (IRIS) Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 08:18:17 -0800 Subject: [iris-bulk] PQLX workshop in Boise Idaho Message-ID: The IRIS DMS will host a one day PQLX workshop on May 12, 2009 in Boise Idaho, just prior to the 2009 EarthScope National Meeting. PQLX (PASSCAL Quick Look eXtended) is open-source software used to evaluate seismic station performance and data quality (see http://www.iris.edu/software/pqlx) . It is intended to give both a general and broad overview of station/ data quality as well as giving the user specific capabilities to determine when and where data quality issues arise. The software primarily consists of a server analysis program and client data visualizer, but also includes data extraction and migration tools. Given waveform data and instrument response files, the PQLX server computes trace statistics, Power Spectral Densities (PSD), and Probability Density Functions (PDF) and writes the results to a MySQL database for quick access by the client. PQLX is compatible with the Linux, Mac OSX, and Solaris operating systems. Supported waveform data formats are Mini-SEED, SAC, SEGY, AH, nano, and DR100; response files must be in SEED RESP file format. This full-day workshop will provide a hand-on introduction to all aspects of the PQLX Seismological Analysis System. Participants are expected to bring a reasonably powerful laptop, one week to one month's worth of data for at least three channels qualifying for PSD analysis (e.g., BH*, LH*, etc.), and response files (format produced by program rdseed) for each PSD-qualifying channel.
