Bottom Seismograph Instrument Pool will host a Special Interest
Group (SIG) Meeting at the 2014 IRIS Workshop. The SIG is entitled
"Increasing Seismometer Presence in the Oceans: Identification of
Scientific Needs."

focus on soliciting input from the seismology community to
identify the key concerns and services that OBSIP should provide
in the future. OBSIP has recently expanded our instrument fleet
and added pressure gauges to many of the existing instruments.
Recent community experiments provide an opportunity for OBSIP to
expand the OBS user base and encourage use of OBS data. This SIG
will give an overview of recent changes in the OBSIP facility and
focus on identifying the OBS community’s needs for the future.</p>

the scientific community are encouraged to attend. We would also
like to draw attention to another SIG at the IRIS Workshop
entitled "Real-time Seismic Data from the Oceans," organized by
Gabi Laske, Frederik Simons, and Guust Nolet.<br>
