[iris-bulk] Joint Assembly Special Session S06

[IRIS]

Please consider a submission to Special Session S06 at the Joint  
Assembly. We are particularly interested in presentations highlighting  
international collaborative work, and capacity development in the  
geophysical sciences and monitoring infrastructure.


Seeds of Cooperation: Geophysical monitoring networks, international  
collaborations and sustainable scientific growth.

Recent investments in seismological and geodetic monitoring networks  
support cross-border collaborations in research and education as well  
as sustainable scientific capacity-building in countries throughout  
Latin America and the Caribbean. International cooperation in data  
collection has led to improvements in natural hazard risk assessments,  
resource management, and the growth of scientific capacity and a  
technical workforce. This session will explore policy and technical  
aspects of network deployments and inter-network data exchange,  
integration of national and global networks, the development of  
regional and international data management systems, and the utility of  
data products for basic scientific research, education and natural  
hazard risk reduction. In particular, the session will highlight  
successful collaborations in seismology and tectonophysics from  
scientific and policy perspectives.
