Geo.X Advanced Seismology Thematic workshop:

"Seismology beyond seismometers: new concepts of integrating different sensors"



June 24th, 2016

Wissenschaftsetage im Bildungsforum Potsdam, Am Kanal 47, 14467 Potsdam,


(www.wis-potsdam.de/de/kontakt-anfahrt)





The workshop aims to bring together seismologist and scientists from the broader Berlin-Potsdam region 
from different disciplines working at the forefront of sensor and method development with links to seismology. 
We want to discuss future directions of integrating different sensors for research and the potentials and visions 
of novel research lines. 

We have invited several key experts from different fields and plan sufficient time for a panel discussion to work out 
new  collaborations and to develop visions for a joint research proposal(s) in this field (see program).




For organizational reasons, please sign up for attendance at Mrs Koester (koester@gfz-potsdam.de).



PhD students are invited to present posters of their current work (or plans)

Please prepare your presentations and the discussion to highlight interesting science questions and 
method / sensor developments with relation to seismology, which bear potential to take off when  forces are joined.
