********************************** From: Charlotte Rowe <char@xxxxxxxx> ********************************** Dear Volcano monitoring colleagues: Please note that the 2007 SSA meeting will be held on the Big Island of Hawaii in April, 2007. Abstract submissions are due January 12, 2007; the online submission page can be found through links on the Seismological Society of America homepage www.seismosoc.org. We would like to draw your attention to the following special session that is germane not only to tectonic earthquake monitoring but also to various aspects of volcano monitoring and system automation: ############################################################################## New Developments in Semi-automatic and Fully-automatic tools in Seismic Data Analysis Decreased monitoring thresholds and increased expectations for faster and more sophisticated products from the seismological community have led to the inevitable need for more automatic or semi-automatic data analysis methods. Evaluations of source parameters, signal quality, structural interpretation, etc. are important for members of the seismological community, as well as public and private constituents for a variety of time-critical applications. These needs for automated tools transcend the various disciplines within seismology, as well as the multiple tasks of seismologists and those to whom they report. Fortunately increasing computer capacity, available digital waveform data, and growing maturity of our understanding of the processing algorithms involved have allowed partial or complete automation of many tasks that were done with extensive human intervention only a few years ago. We welcome contributions for all aspects of new automation and semi-automation in the realm of seismic data analysis and reporting - including but not limited to: automatically adaptive digital filtering, autopicking, auto-location, hands-off updating of velocity modeling or seismic imaging, seismic hazard analysis, eruption probabilities, tsunami warning or critical information releases to emergency responders.
