Session Time: 2:00 PM to 3:15 PM (local time)

Climate change and associated environmental impacts will be some of the most pressing global-scale challenges of the coming century. Many of their effects can be observed and evaluated with seismology. With decades of analog seismograms predating the satellite era, an increasing density of seismic networks around the globe, and advances in data analysis methods, our science can make significant contributions to understanding climate change and its environmental impacts. This session is seeking abstracts showcasing the application of seismology to advancing the observation, modeling and decision-making associated with climate change and other environmental hazards, including how seismology can support the real-time management of natural hazards caused or exacerbated by extreme climate conditions. We welcome seismic and seismoacoustic studies from all domains impacted by climate change. Presentations are also encouraged on the effects of climate change on the practice of seismology, from challenges posed to network operations, to effects on seismic data, to additional data streams needed to improve climate and environmental monitoring capabilities. 

This session is jointly organized by the European Seismological Commission and SSA.
