Welcome
This two-week short course will address the importance of developing and maintaining modern seismological observatories, and will explore recent advances in the analysis of seismological data in support of basic research, education, and hazard mitigation. The Institute is designed to engage graduate students, post-doc fellows, and new faculty from across the Americas in an interactive collaborative learning environment including completion of collaborative research projects.
The Institute has four primary objectives:
- Develop understanding of the principles of sustainable network operations
- Promote open access and exchange of data within and between countries in support of research, education, and hazard mitigation
- Examine recent advances and current challenges in estimating earthquake source parameters and imaging Earth structure
- Facilitate future research collaborations.
Interested persons are encouraged to apply by the indicated deadline. Selected participants will receive travel support including air travel to and from Quito, lodging and meals through the duration of the institute. Women, under represented minorities and persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.
The Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) Program is a jointly supported initiative between the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
