Regional Earthquake Centers: Highlights and Challenges
This session highlights the unique observations, opportunities and challenges of regional seismic operation centers. Regional seismic operation centers play an important role in monitoring for natural earthquakes and other phenomena, including induced seismicity. They also play an important role in advancing scientific study, especially as it relates to local and regional seismic hazard and the generation of high-quality seismic data and data products, such as earthquake catalogs. Regional seismic operation centers are also important for communicating hazard and risk to a wide variety of stakeholders, including researchers, emergency management agencies, policy makers, educators, regulators and the general public.
The purpose of the session is to foster collaboration and to communicate advances and challenges of monitoring at a regional scale. We welcome a wide range of contributions spanning science, operations and/or stakeholder engagement. Topics of interest include integrating new technological advances in data acquisition and processing; data policies and data sharing; interactions with stakeholders; and novel education and outreach initiatives. Other topics that highlight current advances and challenges for regional earthquake operation centers are also of interest. We encourage submissions from both large and small regional seismic networks. If you work with real-time data for regional seismic monitoring, we encourage you to submit an abstract.
