The Seismological Society of America is now accepting session proposals for the 2010 SSA meeting in Portland, Oregon, 20-23 April 2010. Please send the session name, description, and convener(s) contact information to 2010Program@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Session proposals will be evaluated by the newly formed Program Committee, composed of co-chairs Seth Moran (USGS - Cascades Volcano Observatory) and Nick Beeler (USGS - Vancouver), Ivan Wong (Seismic Hazards Group, Oakland CA), Ray Weldon (University of Oregon), Vicki McConnell (DOGAMI), and Anne Trehu (Oregon State University). SESSION CONTENT: Sessions are encouraged from across the broad fields of earthquake science, geotechnical and earthquake engineering and seismology, including paleoseismology, Earth structure, explosion monitoring, nonvolcanic tremor and slow slip, earthquake and other seismic source processes, and hazard analysis. One focus of the meeting will be regional seismotectonics and seismic hazards of the Pacific Northwest, encompassing such topics as the Cascadia subduction zone, urban earthquake hazards, episodic tremor and slip, volcano seismology, studies of crustal faults in the greater Portland area, and local planning and emergency management issues associated with earthquake and tsunami response. The meeting will also commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Mount St Helens eruption (18 May 1980). Sessions that explore these and related aspects are particularly encouraged. Help make this an extraordinary SSA meeting by organizing sessions related to these topics or to cutting-edge research, methodology, and technology developments in your field. SUBMISSION PROCESS: To propose a session, send materials no later than 1 October 2009 to 2010Program@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The session title should be in upper- and lower-case letters.
