Kicking off with a 5.5-hour field seminar cruising the waters of Prince William Sound, learning about tectonics, geology, cryo-seismology, tsunamis, landslides, and current instrumentation and research efforts in the region, the Seismological Society of America annual meeting is packed with information. A second field trip will take attendees from a GPS station in Palmer to an active, multi-instrument seismic station in Glacier View. Experts will explain key components of each station, along with the instruments and components that are unique to Alaska.
