From process to signal, a workshop to advance environmental seismology

目前，还没有一个平台可供新兴的环境地震学社区聚会和交流想法和研究产品。本次会议将利用国际专业知识的聚集，以确定持续增长和创新的关键需求，启动国际社会结构的发展，以促进数据和方法的共享，并讨论潜在的社区实验，其中杰出的多学科观测将使环境地震学新兴方法的基准。超过一半的参与者将是早期的职业科学家，他们可能在环境地震学的新兴国际研究社区中拥有股份。美国参与者的支持申请将从扎根于各种学科的科学家那里寻求，并特别鼓励从事环境地震学研究的代表性不足的少数民族的申请。EGU伽利略会议计划于2017年6月举行，以调查环境地震学的艺术状态，分享新的分析技术，并讨论进一步推进地震学近地表应用的具体需求。会议将为创建社区结构和确定共同方法提供一个起点。一个具体目标是利用全球专家的聚集，集体确定获得基准数据的机会，在这些基准数据中，可以或已经获得高质量的地震和传统地貌观测数据。该项目将支持7名美国科学家参加会议。使美国能够参加会议将突出最近和正在进行的国内环境地震学研究，并使美国科学家在讨论未来的研究方向和国际社会的发展中有发言权。

Currently, no platform exists for the budding community of environmental seismology to meet and exchange ideas and research products. This conference will take advantage of the gathering of international expertise to identify key needs for continued growth and innovation, initiate development of an international community structure to facilitate sharing of data and methods, and discuss potential community experiments where outstanding multidisciplinary observations will enable benchmarking of emerging methods in environmental seismology. More than half of the supported participants will be early career scientists who are likely to have a stake in the nascent international research community in environmental seismology. Applications for U.S. participant support will be sought from scientists rooted in a variety of disciplines and specifically encourage applications from underrepresented minorities engaged in environmental seismology research.An EGU Galileo Conference is planned for June 2017 to survey the state of art of environmental seismology, share new analysis techniques, and discuss specific needs for further advancing near-surface applications of seismology. The conference will provide a starting point to create community structures and define shared approaches. A specific goal is to use the gathering of global experts to collectively identify opportunities for obtaining benchmark data where both seismological and traditional geomorphic observations can be or have been obtained with high data quality. This project will support participation of 7 U.S. scientists in the conference. Enabling U.S. participation in the conference will highlight recent and ongoing domestic research in environmental seismology and give U.S. scientists a voice in discussions of future research directions and international community development.
