Presentation

Seismogeodesy is a new subcommission under the joint umbrella of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) and the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth’s Interior (IASPEI).

It is chaired by Jean-Mathieu Nocquet (Université Côte D’Azur, IRD, CNRS, OCA & Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris) and vie-chaired by Takuya Nishimura (Kyoto University, Uji, Japan).

The seismogeodesy commission aims at:

actively encourage the cooperation between all geoscientists studying the plate boundary deformation zones, by promoting the exploitation of synergies between different fields;
to reinforce collocated and integrated geodetic and seismological monitoring of seismically active areas by increasing and/or developing infrastructures dedicated to broadband observations from the seismic wave band to the permanent displacement;
to promote the application to earthquake and deformation studies of innovative technologies such as optical fibers
to be a reference group for the integration of the most advanced geodetic and seismological techniques by developing consistent methodologies for data reduction, analysis, integration, and interpretation;
to act as a forum for discussion and scientific support for international geoscientists investigating the kinematics and mechanics of the plate boundary deformation zone;
to promote the use of standard procedures for geodetic data acquisition, quality evaluation, and processing, particularly GNSS data and InSAR data;
to promote earthquake geodesy, the study of seismically active regions with large earthquake potential, and geodetic application to early warning system of earthquakes and tsunamis for hazard mitigation;
to promote the role of geodesy in tectonic studies for understanding the seismic cycle, transient and instantaneous deformation, and creeping versus seismic slip on faults.
to facilitate and stimulate the integrated exploitation of large geodetic and seismological data sets, using Machine Learning and Data Mining approaches

The Seismogeodesy subcommission is part of IAG Commission 3: Earth Rotation and Geodynamics and IASPEI commission on earthquake source mechanics
