[iris-bulk] Propose a Session for SSA 2010 Annual Meeting

[IRIS]

The Seismological Society of America is now accepting session  
proposals for the 2010 SSA meeting in Portland, Oregon, 20-23 April  
2010.  Please send the session name, description, and convener(s)  
contact information to 2010Program at seismosoc.org.

PROGRAM COMMITTEE:
Session proposals will be evaluated by the newly formed Program  
Committee, composed of co-chairs Seth Moran (USGS - Cascades Volcano  
Observatory) and Nick Beeler (USGS - Vancouver), Ivan Wong (Seismic  
Hazards Group, Oakland CA), Ray Weldon (University of Oregon), Vicki  
McConnell (DOGAMI), and Anne Trehu (Oregon State University).

SESSION CONTENT:
Sessions are encouraged from across the broad fields of earthquake  
science, geotechnical and earthquake engineering and seismology,  
including paleoseismology, Earth structure, explosion monitoring,  
nonvolcanic tremor and slow slip, earthquake and other seismic source  
processes, and hazard analysis.

One focus of the meeting will be regional seismotectonics and seismic
hazards of the Pacific Northwest, encompassing such topics as the  
Cascadia subduction zone, urban earthquake hazards, episodic tremor  
and slip, volcano seismology, studies of crustal faults in the greater  
Portland area, and local planning and emergency management issues  
associated with earthquake and tsunami response. The meeting will also  
commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Mount St Helens eruption (18  
May 1980). Sessions that explore these and related aspects are  
particularly encouraged. Help make this an extraordinary SSA meeting  
by organizing sessions related to these topics or
to cutting-edge research, methodology, and technology developments in  
your field.
