We are currently accepting proposals for Special Interest Group (SIG) breakout sessions — 1.5-hour sessions to foster community discussion and exchange – Deadline January 24, 2023

This workshop focuses on cutting edge geophysical results of processes in the solid earth, cryosphere, oceans, atmosphere, and even other planets. It highlights synergies between the geodetic and seismic research communities in time, space, and methods for approaching datasets and changes in the Earth System. It provides an opportunity to learn about cutting edge research, engage with other members of the community, and expand technical skills.

The Workshop is sponsored by the the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and US Geological Survey (USGS). The Geodetic Facility for the Advancement of Geoscience (GAGE) and the Seismological Facility for the Advancement of Geoscience (SAGE) are run by EarthScope Consortium, through cooperative agreements with NSF. EarthScope Consortium was formed through a merger of IRIS and UNAVCO.

Format

The workshop will be held in-person with no virtual component.

All meeting attendees will be required to adhere to the EarthScope Code of Conduct.

Workshop Goals

• Facilitate geodetic and seismic scientific research by sharing results and planning future endeavors, and
• Foster community among geodetic and seismic researchers, faculty, students, and facility staff,
• Provide a venue for professional development in scientific and technical careers.

Workshop Leadership

Science Planning Committee:

• Caroline Beghein, University of California Los Angeles
• Kristel Chanard, Université de Paris
• Eric Lindsey, University of New Mexico
• Zhongwen Zhan, California Institute of Technology

EarthScope Planning Contacts:

• Beth Pratt-Sitaula, EarthScope Consortium
• Justin Sweet, EarthScope Consortium

Plenary Sessions

Earth and Planetary Structure – Monday morning

This session brings together seismological and geodetic studies of the interior of the Earth and other planets that contribute to our understanding of planetary structure, formation, and evolution. It will highlight studies using new datasets, modeling approaches, or observational techniques to explore the structure of a planet and to help relate surface processes to the interior. A short list of examples includes geodetic inferences on viscosity or density, plate deformation, or seismological studies of wave velocities, attenuation, anisotropy and core or mantle dynamics.

Chairs: Ebru Bozdag (Colorado School of Mines), Corné Kreemer (University of Nevada Reno)

• Linking Surface Deformation with Mantle Dynamics from Numerical Modeling with Data Assimilation – Lijun Liu (University of Illinois)
• InSight on Mars, 2018-2022: What a Single Station on Mars was able to Reveal About the Interior from Near-surface to the Core – Mark Panning (JPL)
• Weak Base of the Upper Mantle Revealed by Postseismic Deformation Following a Deep (~560 km) Earthquake – Sunny Park (University of Chicago)
• Probing Lowermost Mantle Dynamics with Observations of Seismic Anisotropy – Jonathan Wolf (Yale University)

Hazards, Transients, and Society – Monday afternoon

Modern seismic and geodetic techniques (and their combinations) have given us the ability to sense transient crustal processes in unprecedented detail. This session focuses on new measurement techniques and new observations of Earth hazards (earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, etc.) and other transient sources, and on the insight these data can provide into the physical processes driving such events. A crucial component of hazard mitigation involves effective and timely public outreach and engagement; this session also serves to highlight these efforts. We invite discussion on how SAGE & GAGE can help us better prepare (scientifically and societally) for future occurrences.

Chairs: Roby Douilly (University of California Riverside), Dara Goldberg (USGS)

• The Value and Challenges of High Spatial Resolution Satellite Observations for Volcano Science and Hazard Mitigation – Matthew Pritchard (Cornell University)
• Towards Volcanic Hazards Assessment Using Transient Detection in the Natron Rift, Tanzania – D. Sarah Stamps (Virginia Tech)
• Earthquake Early Warning Along the US West Coast: Improving Detection and Characterization of Offshore Events with Limited Data – Amy Williamson (University of California Berkeley)
• Satellite Sensing of Precursory Motion for Landslide Inundation Forecasting – Yuankun Xu (University of California Berkeley)

Evolving Landscape and Climate – Tuesday morning

Advances in seismo-geodetic observations provide an unprecedented opportunity to study environmental processes beyond the solid Earth. This session explores the potential of these observations to quantitatively monitor various variables relevant to further our understanding of the evolving landscape and climate. Examples of variables include, but are not restricted to, terrestrial water storage, ice sheet and glacier mass, sediment transport, tropospheric water vapor and sea level.

Chairs: Marine Denolle (University of Washington), Chris Harig (University of Arizona)

• DAS in the Cryosphere – Dominik Graeff (University of Washington)
• Groundwater Monitoring Using GNSS – Justine Overacker (University of Nevada Reno)
• Seismo-geomorphology – Danica Roth (Colorado School of Mines)
• Open Science with IcePyx – Jessica Scheick (University of New Hampshire)

Seafloor and Marine Feophysics – Tuesday afternoon

This session highlights new technologies, sensing capabilities, and sciences in areas beyond land, including but not limited to seafloor geodesy and seismology, submarine fiber-optic sensing, and ocean wave monitoring. Offshore data currently occupy a small fraction of the SAGE/GAGE facility but are bound to grow rapidly and contribute insights to key geophysics questions and beyond.

Chairs: Noel Bartlow (University of Kansas), Ƶack Spica (University of Michigan)

New Opportunities and Future Directions – Wednesday morning

This forward-looking session explores the frontiers of geophysics in areas such as instrument design and development, data analyses, and new/upcoming collaborations that are expanding the reach of geophysics. We highlight new technologies and how they are helping to advance geophysics on Earth as well as on other planets. We also look at how innovative approaches to data analysis allow us to learn more from new and existing datasets and also explore the evolving opportunities for interdisciplinary geodesy and seismology.
