[OBSIPtec] EGU session Extraterrestrial Seismology (8-13 April 2018, Vienna)

[Simon Stähler]

Dear colleagues,

We, the organizers of the planetary seismology session at EGU would like 
to invite contributions from the OBS community that might be useful for 
autonomous installations of seismometers on planets, moons and other 
bodies: single-station approaches, automated event detection, data rate 
reduction...

We’d also like to draw your attention to the deadline for Early Career
Scientists financial support applications on 1.12.2017. You find more

Please forward this email to everyone else you know to be interested.

Sincerely,

PS5.3/SM 1.03
Extraterrestrial seismology – Advances in instrumentation and 
methodology (co-organized)

This session will be a platform to share and discuss advances in seismic 
instrumentation and seismological methodology aimed at terrestrial 
planets, icy moons, and small bodies as well as seismological 
investigations of icy, oceanic or desert environments on Earth.

In preparation for new space missions planning to deploy seismometers on 
Mars, asteroids, comets or returning to the Moon, we want to establish a 
session to present advances in building robust and low-power seismic 
instrumentation adequate for space, including new deployment and sensor 
concepts, e.g. miniaturization, rotational sensors, or sensors for 
atmospheric recordings of seismic waves. Addressed issues may include 
data quality and quantity achievable by these instruments given their 
limitations in frequency range, sensitivity, digital resolution, finite 
lifetime due to power availability, and limited capacity for data 
storage and transfer.

Furthermore, we invite discussions of seismological methods that can be 
adapted to the specific case of limited data availability and harsh 
conditions on extraterrestrial bodies: dealing with single-station 
setups, scarce networks, strong background noise, timing errors, unknown 
sources, difficulties arising from robotic deployment, lacking 
information on the exact deployment conditions, and ineffective coupling 
between instrument and ground. In this respect, lessons learned from 
seismological experiments in challenging terrestrial environments are of 
special interest. Examples are experiments on (floating) ice, in the 
oceans e.g. using ocean-bottom seismometers or floating hydrophones, or 
in deserts. Presentations are invited on topics including knowledge and 
insights obtained from re-processing of Apollo lunar seismic data with 
novel methodologies, getting ready for seismic data return from the 
InSight mission to Mars scheduled to land in November 2018, seismic 
investigations of Earth analogues comparable to expected 
extraterrestrial environments , and studies undertaken in preparation 
for seismic missions to asteroids, comets, icy moons and other bodies.
