Thus, each of you play a critical role in the program's overall success. To facilitate your ability to announce the program we have: - created annotated slides that can be shown in class (http://www.iris.edu/internship/apply/intern) - included details below that can be pasted into an email to individual students or to a student listserv (below) - printable 2-page brochure (http://www.iris.edu/internship/apply/intern) Thanks in advance for helping to announce this successful program! Michael Hubenthal IRIS Education Specialist -------------------------------------------- Are you an undergraduate interested in working on a seismological research project in the summer of 2010? 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 31 to June 4, 2010 (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 seismological 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 arguments, and preparing publications * gather, manage, and convey information, using various skills, strategies, 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, 2010 http://www.iris.edu/internship/ From irismail at iris.washington.edu Mon Jan 4 09:24:18 2010 From: irismail at iris.washington.edu (IRIS) Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2010 09:24:18 -0800 (PST) Subject: [iris-bulk] SSA 2010 - Joint Inversion Special Session In-Reply-To: <2025343760.1908.1262625790087.JavaMail.root@hub.iris.washington.edu> Message-ID: <1109996427.1910.1262625858091.JavaMail.root@hub.iris.washington.edu> We wish to draw your attention to a special topical session that will be convened at the 2010 SSA meeting in Portland, Oregon, 21-23 April. This session will be a posters only session, to facilitate greater interaction and discussion among participants in this newly emerging research discipline. The session description is included below. Please note that abstracts must be submitted to SSA no later than January 12. Please visit www.seismosoc.org and follow the links to the abstract submission page. Thank you, Monica Maceira and Charlotte Rowe, Los Alamos National Laboratory Haijiang Zhang, Massachusetts Institute of Technology ------------------------------------------------------------------ Joint Inversion of Multiple Geophysical Data Sets for Seismic Structure (Posters Only) A recent trend in the tomography arena at various scales is the joint inversion of traditionally distinct data sets for improved seismic structure modeling. Combinations of data sets used in these joint inversions have included: resistivity and magnetotelluric data; receiver function and surface wave dispersion observations; teleseismic or local travel times and gravity data; and surface wave velocity and gravity observations. Although multiple geophysical observations have been successfully inverted jointly, many questions about means and methods still remain unanswered. We invite contributions to this session on simultaneous and/or sequential joint inversion methods for improved tomographic modeling. Of particular interest are studies that highlight novel combinations of data sets, possible relationships between the independent observations and the relative weighting of disparate data sets for successful inversion. Results from reservoir-scale to global-scale are welcome, along with new means to address computational efficiency and robustness of the inversion. To encourage more in-depth discussion, this will be a poster-only session.

The recent prominence of the CTBT ratification debate is an opportunity to communicate to a new generation that this is an important part of seismology, that - Government interest in this part of seismology has funded both infrastructure and fundamental research, - Development of many techniques now used broadly in seismology was originally motivated by explosion monitoring, - Many interesting questions can benefit from further research, - Seismologist in this specialty work with people all around the world with a variety backgrounds and professional interests. To take advantage of this opportunity, Paul Richards, Bill Walter, Ola Dahlman and I are working to organize a session that includes speakers from policy and public interest sectors, from organizations involved in monitoring operations, and from investigators who are advancing the state of the art. The formal session description is appended below. The SSA posts information about the meeting and abstract submission guidelines at http://www.seismosoc.org/meetings/ The abstract deadline is January 12. Best regards, Ray Willemann Monitoring for Nuclear Explosions Seismology has new visibility with policymakers and the general public in the context of current evaluations of the Comprehensive Nuclear- Test-Ban Treaty. Explosion monitoring continues to motivate both innovation and funding in seismology, as it has since Project VELA began in 1959. Infrastructure to improve the monitoring of nuclear explosions has included the WWSSN (1960s to 1980s), the GSN (from 1990) and the International Monitoring System (from 2000). Many fundamental tools now used widely in seismology were developed partly to improve explosion monitoring, including seismic array signal processing, numerical simulation of seismic wave propagation, structure discovery methods such as tomography and receiver functions, and source characterization methods such as moment tensors and coda magnitude. We welcome papers related to all advances in monitoring capability in the last ten years. Such topics include discussion of new data streams and issues of accessibility; new understanding of source physics; assessments of capability; and improvements derived from new methods of analysis such as uses of three-dimensional models and massive data-mining. In addition to papers evaluating routine methods of event detection, association of signals, and event characterization, we welcome special studies of particular data sets, and discussion of monitoring technologies (such as ocean acoustics, infrasound, radiochemistry) that complement seismology.

Although seismic datasets with different resolution, such as surface wave dispersion, receiver functions, and teleseismic arrival times, have been successfully inverted jointly, many questions remain: Which types of data should be inverted together? How to balance their influence in the inversion? Jointly inverting data that are sensitive to different parameters, such as seismic and magnetotelluric data can provide more detailed information but requires assumptions about rock properties and raises the question of how to provide a meaningful relationship between different datasets? We invite submissions from geophysics and geochemistry that address issues related to joint inversion, joint modeling, data analysis and rock properties. From lerner at ldeo.columbia.edu Thu Jan 7 08:40:03 2010 From: lerner at ldeo.columbia.edu (Arthur Lerner-Lam) Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2010 11:40:03 -0500 Subject: [iris-bulk] Marie Tharp Fellowship for Women Scientists, Columbia University Message-ID: Marie Tharp Fellowship for Women Scientists Overview and Application Information: 2010-2011 For Residency in 2010-2011; Application Deadline: March 15, 2010 Overview: The Earth Institute and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University invite applications for the Marie Tharp Fellowship for Women. This fellowship provides up to $30,000 to qualified women scientists to spend three months at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (or related units) to conduct research. Fellows will have an opportunity to work with faculty, research staff, post docs, and graduate students during their fellowship. Marie Tharp Fellows will be appointed Adjunct Research Scientists at Columbia. Each fellow is expected to participate in EI/LDEO activities and make a scientific presentation during her residence. This award was started during the five-year, $4.2 million National Science Foundation ADVANCE award, given to the Earth Institute at Columbia University over the period 2004-2009. The goal of this program is to promote the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women and minorities in the sciences, and to cultivate an environment that attracts, fosters, and promotes women leaders in science. Background: The fellowship is named after Marie Tharp, who was the first to map details of the ocean floor on a global scale. She published the pivotal interpretation of mid-ocean ridges that was crucial to the eventual acceptance of the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift. Tharp based her work on data from sonar readings obtained by Maurice Ewing and his team. Piecing together data from the late 1940s and early 1950s, she and colleague Bruce Heezen discovered a 40,000-mile underwater ridge girdling the globe and established the foundation for the conclusion that the sea floor spreads from central ridges and that the continents are in motion with respect to one another?a revolutionary geological theory at the time. Years later, satellite images proved Tharp?s maps to be accurate. Tharp came to Columbia in 1948. She then moved to the Lamont Geological Observatory (now the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory), where she began work on mapping the ocean floor. Her map of the ocean floor is still a foundation for research and education in the ocean sciences. Who Is Eligible to Apply for a Marie Tharp Fellowship? The competition is open to junior and mid-career women scientists in the earth sciences. Since the purpose of the Marie Tharp Fellowship is to bring promising women scientists to Columbia, faculty (full-time and adjunct) and researchers at Columbia are not eligible to apply. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. There are no restrictions on nationality; however, applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. What Does the Fellowship Entail? The duration of the Marie Tharp Fellowship is for a period of three months. Fellows are encouraged to visit for three consecutive months, but they may choose to take their fellowship in separate monthly visits. The fellowship must be taken in residence at one of the earth science units of the Earth Institute (see end for complete list of eligible units). The fellowship will provide up to $30,000 for support of the fellow during the three-month period. Budget: Fellows can use this award to pay salary, research expenses and travel, up to a total of $30,000 over a three-month period. The following maximum limits are proposed: Salary $20,000; Research Expenses $25,000; Travel: $5,000. In case of compelling reasons, the fellow may submit a written request to the LDEO Directorate to waive one or more of these limits. Requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

We're sending this to several listserves in hopes of getting the word out.) We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the upcoming workshop, "Challenges and Opportunities in Academic Marine Seismology," to be held March 22-24, 2010, in Incline Village, Nevada (and hosted by the University of Nevada, Reno). Purpose As a community, we are entering a time of unprecedented opportunity for marine seismology, with the new 3D capabilities of the R/V Langseth ( http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/res/fac/oma/langseth/index.html ), which has completed its second year of successful operations. The capabilities of this facility will enable key scientific advances. However, along with these new opportunities come new challenges, including the high cost of seismic acquisition, the difficulty of forecasting areas of operation, and ensuring broad community access to data produced by the facility. With this in mind, the purpose of this workshop is to establish community consensus on several key issues, including: - Defining science goals that require a healthy marine seismology facility over the next decade. - Improving the process of soliciting, evaluating, funding, and scheduling seismic cruises. - Broadening access to Langseth products for scientists and educators. If successful, the workshop will help chart a course for a healthy, productive future for marine seismology in the U.S. Participants We welcome participants from academia, government, and industry, who have research interests in marine reflection seismology (both 2D and 3D), refraction and passive source seismology, general oceanography, and marine geology, as well as educators interested in bringing the products of such research into the classroom. Students, postdocs, and early-career scientists are particularly encouraged to apply. Workshop Web Site You can find all the information you need, including the registration form, accommodations, and travel, at this URL: http://www.unols.org/meetings/2010/201003mls/201003LW_details.html 3D Seismic Short Course The workshop will be preceded on the afternoon of Sunday, March 21, by a short course on 3D seismic data processing sponsored by LDEO - if you would like to participate in that short course, please indicate that in the comments section of the application form, and plan your travel to arrive in Reno by noon on Sunday. Travel Details The workshop proper will begin Monday morning, March 22, and end at lunchtime on Wednesday, March 24, so mid-afternoon departures from Reno would be appropriate.

This is for reals! http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2010/session/2791 Joya and Andy ******************************************* Session GD6.1/GMPV51/SM6.7: Understanding upper mantle anisotropy: integrating petrologic, seismic, and geodynamic methods. http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2010/session/2791 Conveners: Joya Tetreault and Andrew Frassetto This interdisciplinary session will cover recent advances in methodology, observations, and interpretations of upper mantle anisotropy through mineralogy, seismology, and geodynamics. New laboratory studies demonstrate that shear heating, pressure, and water content have a large bearing on olivine lattice-preferred orientation (LPO) fabric. Additionally, the refinement of seismic analyses and increase of available broadband data have developed a dense set of observations. Geodynamic models of mantle flow, development of LPO fabric, and seismic anisotropy seek to bridge the gap between laboratory studies and seismic observations as well as provide understanding to tectonic problems. Integrating these three fields has significantly improved our understanding of mantle flow at global and regional scales. We welcome contributions from new observations, techniques, and interdisciplinary studies of tectonic problems.

This is a joint session with European Geoscience Union (EGU). The abstract deadline is Feb. 5. Since mid 1980's, a number of inspiring seismic tomography models visualized various images of subducted plates and mantle upwelling, and led to a new class of mantle convection modeling with a link totomographic models. Heat and material transport, plate motion and evolution, hotspot distribution and tracks, polar wander and Earth figure, birth and death of trench-arc system etc. have been incorporated into geodynamic modeling. The related geodetic, geophysical, geochemical and geological observations, in turn, have contributed to improvement and comprehension of geodynamic models. Our understanding of mantle dynamics is still limited, however, because observations are limited in quality and quantity and their relations to models are highly nonunique and depend critically on physical and chemical properties of mantle materials not accurately known. We summarize the current status of mantle structural imaging and geodynamic modeling, discuss how they are further constrained and improved by observations, and identify issues to be resolved and explore clues to integrate physically different processes observable in different disciplines into coherent geodynamic modeling.

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. Participants MUST provide their own laptop with PQLX and MySQL preloaded. See workshop information page for more details.

The workshop is being co-sponsored by CERESIS and IASPEI. The goal is to enable open data sharing and exchange of ideas between networks in the Americas as well as with the broader global seismological community. The objective of the workshop is to assist operators of seismic networks in the generation of metadata that describes their seismic stations. We shall provide training in a variety of areas including; modern seismometry, modern data acquisition systems, digital filtering theory, quality assurance of seismological data, and how modern seismological data are used to study diverse scientific problems as well as monitoring seismicity. The primary goal of the workshop is related to the generation of the metadata needed to describe their networks using the Portable Data Collection Center (PDCC) application. We expect participants to come away from the workshop with all the necessary knowledge to set up and maintain their own database and to link their network to the growing global network for data access. Specific Requirements: Participants MUST be able to bring their own laptops to the workshop. Participant?s laptops will need to meet special requirements. Please see more at: http://www.iris.edu/workshops/2010/metadata/ Registration Registration opens February 1 and closes April 30, 2010. IRIS will notify applicants if their request to attend the workshop is accepted by May 28, 2010. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
