Dear network contacts,

Invitation to submit contributions.

IUGG Session J-S05 Infrastructure for seismology (FDSN)

At the IUGG 2011 (www.iugg2011.com) IASPEI meeting (June 30 – July 4,
2011) The FDSN organises a specific session (J-So5) at the meeting
(see below for details), an FDSN General Assembly meeting and FDSN
Working Groups meetings (see attached schedule). We encourage you to
submit relevant contributions to the IUGG session. This is the
occasion to obtain a complete overview over the global seismological
observational infrastructure. We encourage both oral and poster
presentations.

The FDSN General Assembly and its workshop meetings discuss on-going
developments, station siting and instrumentation (WG1), format
standards and data centers (WG2), products, tools and services (WG3),
coordination with the CTBTO (WG4), and portable instrumentation (WG5).
More details can be found on www.fdsn.org. We encourage network
operators to participate in these open meetings en contribute to the

IUGG Session J-S05 Infrastructure for seismology (FDSN)

Submission deadline: Februari 1, 2011

Lead Convenors: Gerardo Suarez (Mexico), Torild van Eck (The
Netherlans), Rhett Butler (United States of America)

Scope: The International Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks
(FDSN) is a global organization. Its membership is comprised of groups
responsible for the installation and maintenance of seismographs
either within their geographic borders or globally. Membership in the
FDSN is open to all organizations that operate more than one broadband
station. Members agree to coordinate station siting and provide free
and open access to their data. This cooperation helps scientists all
over the world to further the advancement of earth science and
particularly the study of global seismic activity. The FDSN also holds
commission status within IASPEI.
We encourage technical/scientific contributions providing an overview
of networks intending to become member of the FDSN, new transformative
developments at FDSN member networks and innovative technical
developments that have had a significant impact on facilitating and
promoting efficient transnational real-time data exchange. The session
will be accompanied by a number of side meetings of the different FDSN
working groups (see also www.fdsn.org).
