About the Conference

The conference will explore marked advances in extracting environmental information from seismic data to investigate phenomena that include cryosphere, ocean, and groundwater dynamics, fluvial processes, cyclones, landslides, erosion, and more. Seismology provides time-continuous data, access to remote regions and tools to monitor earthquakes and explosions. These tools to image the subsurface, have been repurposed by environmental scientists from marine mammal biologists to hydrologists. In addition, seismological methods have been central to alternative energy and emissions-reduction efforts such as geothermal energy and carbon storage.

Join co-chairs Rick Aster, Colorado State University and Siobhan Niklasson, New Mexico Tech and Los Alamos National Laboratory for a deep dive into environmental seismoacoustic research and applications. The Environmental Seismology conference will convene in Denver, Colorado. Abstracts open in spring 2025.
