Centennial Session: Forensic Seismology, Origins and Future
Session ID#: 78434
Session Description:
In honor of AGU’s centennial, this session focuses on historical, current and future geophysical contributions in the fields of forensic seismology and global security. We invite submissions detailing seismic, acoustic, hydroacoustic, and other multiphenomenological research relevant to explosion monitoring, forensics, and other global security topics. Submissions highlighting leading contributors and breakthrough discoveries within the verification regime are also of interest. Colleagues and/or former students of influential contributors are encouraged to submit abstracts to present historical context on the origins of forensic seismology, it’s influence in shaping public policy related to global security and the field’s contributions to a broader scientific understanding within the fields of seismology and tectonics.
Index Terms:
7219 Seismic monitoring and test-ban treaty verification [SEISMOLOGY]
7294 Seismic instruments and networks [SEISMOLOGY]
7299 General or miscellaneous [SEISMOLOGY]
