The NSF posted a Dear Colleague Letter to the UNOLS web site in early September. I did forward copies of the letter to members of MSROC and to several other scientists that I knew would be interested in the DCL. However, it appears that the distribution has not been wide enough and I’ve elected to make this available through the IRIS announcement system as well. The NSF will continue to support the operation of the R/V Langseth through the end of fiscal year 2021, a year’s extension. The NS… [more]

NCALM Invites Seed Proposals for Graduate Student Research The National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping, funded by the NSF, invites proposals from graduate students seeking airborne lidar data covering areas up to 40 sq km for use in research toward an M.S. or Ph.D. degree. Proposals must define a basic research question in the geosciences. See the NCALM website (ncalm.cive.uh.edu/seed/about) for background information and instructions on submitting a proposal. The proposal submission perio… [more]

Seismic Site Characterization in the Cascadia Region - Oct. 1, 2019 (Pacific Geoscience Centre, Sidney B.C.) Preliminary Workshop Agenda This 1-day workshop shares perspectives and approaches on characterizing site amplification effects in the Cascadia region - an important topic for seismic hazard assessment and engineering. The aim is to go beyond traditional approaches involving Vs30 and generic amplification models imported from other regions, towards approaches that are more region and si… [more]
