SEG Asia Pacific Conference

Colleagues,
We
would like to invite you to submit a paper to the 2nd Asia Pacific
Conference on Near Surface Geophysics. For additional information,
please visit the conference website at:
Given
that this year’s venue is located on the Hawaiian volcanic chain, we
will highlight geophysical applications to natural hazards focusing on
volcanoes. Special sessions are planned for volcano characterization;
monitoring, imaging, and stratigraphy of pyroclastic flows; geophysical
applications to tsunamis; and passive/microseismic methods for
near-surface applications.
The
2015 Near Surface Asia Pacific Conference will focus on near-surface
issues within the entire Pan-Pacific region and will provide a
world-class forum for new technical advances, developments, and
applications in near-surface geophysics.
In
addition to papers on volcano geophysics, we welcome the submission of
papers covering theoretical developments and case histories in the broad
topic of near-surface geophysics, including:
• Shallow Seismology
• Ground-penetrating Radar
• Electric, EM, and NMR Methods
• Engineering Geophysics
• Mining and Geothermal Exploration
• Remote Sensing and Lidar Applications
• Hydrogeophysics
• Rock and Soil Properties
• Borehole Geophysics
• Modeling and Inversion
• Geophysical Instruments
As
a new component to this year’s conference, we invite proposals for
additional special sessions and one-day postconference workshops. In
your proposal, please include the workshop or session organizers,
potential invited speakers, and a brief description of the topic and its
relevance to the conference.
As
part of the meeting, Oz Yilmaz, author of Seismic Data Analysis, will
give his 2015 Distinguished Short Course entitled “Engineering
Seismology: with Applications to Geotechnical Engineering”, and Koichi
Hayashi will present his 2014 Near Surface Honorary Lecture “Integrated
geophysical methods applied to geotechnical and geohazard engineering:
>From qualitative to quantitative analysis and interpretation”.
The
post-conference field trip will tour the unique volcanic landscape of
Hawai`i. We will travel through the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, an
inspiring and precious place that is listed as both a World Heritage
Site and an International Biosphere preserve. Additionally, we will
visit the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory and discuss the historical
earthquake and eruption effects from Hualalai, Mauna Loa and Kilauea.
