[ANSS-netops] Invitation to submit an abstract to SSA for a session on Network Expansion and Station Build-out

[Fabia Terra]

Howdy Colleagues!

Mouse and I would like to invite abstracts for a session on building out seismic networks.  We are working on EEW-capable networks, but similar philosophies could be applied to any rapid network expansion.  We welcome submissions for any network buildout related endeavor. Full session description is below.

Abstract submission for the 2019 SSA Annual Meeting (https://www.seismosoc.org/annual-meeting/ <https://www.seismosoc.org/annual-meeting/>) is available up to 11th January (one week from Friday!!!) Please join us in Seattle!


Station Build-out for Earthquake Early Warning

On the US West Coast, the U.S. Geological Survey and its partner institutions, University of California, Berkeley, Caltech, the University of Oregon and the University of Washington are focusing on completing the build-out of the infrastructure for initial implementation of ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) in the United States. Over the next few years, the number of EEW-capable seismic stations must at least double from today's ~850 contributing stations. This effort requires planning regarding station density and type as well as complex logistics including siting, legal and environmental permitting, equipment specification and delivery. Other important topics include data quality and latency, continuous monitoring systems, delivery of alerts and other technical topics. This session invites contributions from any EEW system operator on all these topics related to EEW build, including case studies for current and planned seismic networks as well as new ideas for developing EEW deployments and collaborations with contributing networks that are novel for their design or approach in handling these issues.
