From shutian33 at yahoo.ca Sat Apr 2 14:27:47 2011 From: shutian33 at yahoo.ca (Shutian Ma) Date: Sat, 2 Apr 2011 14:27:47 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [iris-bulk] revised hypoDD In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <258213.2455.qm@web88304.mail.re4.yahoo.com> Dear Colleagues, When we locate an event the trade-off between focal depth, origin time, and epicentre exists. This phenomenon also exists in the hypoDD technique. To partially overcome the problem we revised the original hypoDD program package developed by Dr Waldhauser. The article is available from GJI. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-246X.2011.04972.x/abstract The revised version is suitable for very shallow events, for example, the explosives. If you are interested in using the revised version in your projects, let us know. If you could not obtain the article let us know.

The policy takes effect for proposals submitted or due on or after January 18, 2011. Details can be found at http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/dmp.jsp . The essence of the new policy is that all proposals submitted to NSF must include a specific plan to handle and distribute data generated from NSF-funded projects. While IRIS has been a leading force in data management since its inception over 25 years ago, we want to make sure that the IRIS community is aware of this new policy, as it is now a required component of the NSF proposal process. We encourage PIs to contact the IRIS DMS (Tim Ahern, Program Manager; tim at iris.edu ) with any questions or concerns as they assemble data management plans in their proposals.

Global seismic tomography is a relatively young discipline that rose to prominence in the 1980s and early 90s, when it consolidated many aspects of plate tectonics and lead to the discovery of lower-mantle subduction and lowermost-mantle large-scale low-shear-velocity provinces. While in the past global tomographers have been concerned with the isotropic velocity of shear or compressional waves, the successful candidate will focus on imaging of seismic anisotropy and of compositional heterogeneity, based on a particularly large and diverse database. A key aspect of the project is its multidisciplinary nature: the student will interact closely with researchers in seismology (Lapo Boschi, Tarje Nissen-Meyer, Domenico Giardini), mineral physics (Carmen Sanchez-Valle) and geodynamics (Paul Tackley). Knowledge of all these disciplines will be gained to then properly interpret seismic imaging results in terms of the Earth's nature, origin and history. Time permitting, computational aspects of the inverse problem (i.e., the adjoint method) will be explored. Applicants must hold a M. Sc., Diploma or equivalent in the geosciences, physics, applied mathematics, computer sciences or related fields. Some familiarity with computer programming and a solid knowledge of English are mandatory. The Institute of Geophysics at ETH Zurich boasts a strong research and teaching environment covering a wide array of disciplines and Zurich is consistently ranked as one of the cities with highest life quality worldwide. Please consult the Seismology and Geodynamics web pages (www.seg.ethz.ch) or contact Dr. Lapo Boschi (www.seg2.ethz.ch/boschil) for further information. Complete applications must include a curriculum vitae and contact details of two referees familiar with the academic ability of the candidate, and should be emailed to Dr. Boschi: lapo at erdw.ethz.ch (electronic PDF format preferred). The search starts now (April 2011) and will continue until the position is filled. Tentative starting date: September 2011.

Since forward modeling is an essential part of formal seismic inversion methods, the workshop will focus on forward and inverse modeling methods. The workshop will review methods of seismic forward modeling, tomographic and scattered wave imaging, waveform tomography, and adjoint and inversion methods. Several forward modeling methods for 1-D and 3-D Earth structures are available to the community through the Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics (CIG). We intend to have technical presentations on seismic methodology followed by tutorials. The tutorials will be designed to illustrate use of the CIG codes, other seismic imaging codes, and to address the strengths and limitations of the different seismic image formation methods. We encourage attendance by senior graduate students and post-docs. U.C. Berkeley accommodations are available for all participants. Attendance will be limited to 35 students and post-docs.

The workshop will provide a forum for discussion of science goals that can be addressed using EarthScope data from Alaska, building on EarthScope Science Plan for 2010-2020. It will also explore how hypotheses proposed to explain EarthScope and related observations in the lower 48 can be applied or tested in Alaska. It will capitalize on excitement from the choice of Alaska as a GeoPRISMS SCD primary site, expand the breadth of community input to EarthScope, and build broader community support for these goals. *Registration is open:* http://www.iris.edu/hq/Alaska_Workshop_2011/ Additional information, such as financial support, can be found on this website. *Meeting agenda (draft):* http://www.iris.edu/hq/Alaska_Workshop_2011/media/docs/Agenda_posting_April15.pdf Please find the workshop announcement on the EarthScope web site: http://www.earthscope.org/meetings/national_meeting_11 Workshop conveners: Jeff Freymueller (University of Alaska, Fairbanks) Sean Gulick (University of Texas Institute of Geophysics) --------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

June 16-17, 2011 The second joint Seismology/Earthquake Engineering/DOD symposium on seismic instrumentation technology is being conveniently held following the ASL 50th anniversary. The goal of this symposium is to identify the needs of field operators?what are the technologies and issues that make deploying or operating instruments hard, whether from observational capabilities (e.g., data quality, bandwidth, dynamic range, etc.) or logistical needs, or O&M perspectives? Speakers from relevant ?communities? (permanent observatories, portable and transportable experiments, ocean bottom deployments, regional network operators, strong motion, structures) will offer perspectives on what is hard/expensive to do now, what they would like to be able to do,etc. Manufacturers will be invited to bring posters and to give brief poster introductions during the meeting. Registration, hotel and travel information can be found here: http://www.iris.edu/hq/ITS2011/. Please make your hotel reservation by May 17, 2011 in order to receive the discounted group rate. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
