Honor a Mentor or Colleague
Much of the progress in seismology is built on the guidance of those who came before us. If you would like to dedicate your contribution to a mentor, peer or respected colleague, let us know on the donation form. SSA will send a formal notification to the individual or their family to alert them to your thoughtful tribute!

“SSA meetings… have opened doors to new friendships, collaborations, mentorship and scientific opportunities that have played an important role in my development as a seismologist.”
– Guilherme de Melo, SSA Student Member
