SUMMARY:37th General Assembly of the European Seismological Commission - Abstract submission deadline extended
LOCATION:Online
DESCRIPTION:<p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>abstract submission deadline</s
 trong> for the virtual <strong>37th General Assembly of the European Seismo
 logical Commission</strong> (<a href="https://www.erasmus.gr/microsites/119
 3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.erasmus.gr/microsites/1193</a
 >), <strong>19-24 September 2021</strong>, has been <strong>extended</stron
 g> to <strong>May 15th</strong>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We hope
  you may consider submitting your abstract to session <strong>S12</strong>:
  "<strong>Seismological and Structural Studies in Polar Regions and the Cry
 osphere</strong>". The session accepts both oral and poster presentations o
 n a wide range of topics to be found within the appended description below.
 </p><p style="text-align: justify;">We are pleased to announce the followin
 g invited talks: <br /> - Regional and local scale monitoring of glacier dy
 namics and permafrost in Svalbard. By Dr. Andreas Köhler (NORSAR, Norway)<b
 r /> - Seismic structure of the Antarctic upper mantle imaged with adjoint 
 tomography. By Dr. Andrew Lloyd (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, USA)</p>
 <p style="text-align: justify;">Looking forward to meeting you online durin
 g the Assembly!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">With kind regards,</p><p

 he Polar Regions attract increased scientific, social and economic attentio
 n and hold special significance as regions strained the most by the consequ
 ences of climate change. Unanswered questions on the regions’ tectonic evol
 ution, implications of their natural resources and the UN Law of the Sea Tr
 eaty stimulate further interest in them. Among the seismological challenges
  in the Polar Regions are the origin and properties of intraplate seismicit
 y, the mechanisms of ultra-slow seafloor spreading, the structure and dynam
 ics of aseismic ridges and subglacial cratons and orogens, the role of glac
 ial rebound in seismicity triggering, seismogenic glacier sliding and icebe
 rg production, and the exploration for oil and gas. As an imaging tool both
  in depth and on the surface, apart from revealing the Earth’s structure, s
 eismology contributes to studies of paleoclimate and ice and permafrost str
 ucture. Seismology has also proven itself as an effective instrument to stu
 dy ice dynamics and monitor glacier-related natural hazards, the rich cryo-
 seismological wavefield providing unrivalled insights into iceberg detachme
 nt, crevassing, subglacial water flow and basal stick-slip phenomena.</p><p
  style="text-align: justify;">We invite submissions on seismology and Earth
  structure in the Polar regions and glaciated environments with temperate c
 limates. All seismological topics are welcome, including monitoring and ana
 lysis of seismicity (tectonic and cryogenic) and related hazards, near-surf
 ace processes, studies of recent larger seismic events, seismotectonics and
  seismic imaging of crustal and mantle structure. We welcome contributions 
 on recent research results and their interpretation, and on passive and act
 ive experiments under the special conditions of the polar environment and m
 ountain glaciers.</p>
