Nordic Seismology Seminar

Background

The 39th Nordic Seismology Seminar will be held at Holmen Fjordhotell in the time period 4-6 June 2008. The meeting will commence with lunch on Wednesday 4 June and end before lunch on Friday 6 June.

The hotel is located nicely by the Oslo fjord, some 17 km to the west of the Oslo city centre, and can be easily accessed by the express train (Flytoget) from the Oslo airport + a 10 min taxi drive from the Asker train station.

The Nordic Seismology Seminar has traditionally covered a wide range of topics related to seismological research conducted in the Nordic and neighbouring countries. Among these are:

• Detection seismology, verification
• Seismograph stations, networks, data exchange, event bulletins
• Seismic hazard assessment, engineering seismology
• Structural investigations of the crust and upper mantle
• Earthquakes, seismicity, seismotectonics, global seismology

There are currently several cooperative seismology projects going on in the Nordic countries, and this seminar offers a good opportunity to present their status and results.
