IAGA-IASPEI Session J07: "Historical and Legacy Geophysical data for the future" (DEADLINE IS COMING!)

[Josep Batllo]

Dear Colleagues,

IAGA-IASPEI will be meeting next summer in Lisbon, Portugal (August 31-September 5, 2025).

 

We invite you to submit your abstracts to the following session focusing on preservation, dissemination and use of pre-digital era data and related topics. The ABSTRACT DEADLINE is March 12th, 2025). Additional information can be found at the meeting website: https://iaga-iaspei-2025.org/)

 

J07: Historical and Legacy Geophysical data for the future: data archiving, mining and re-use of historical observations, models and numerical simulations

      Our present digital data systems, with Standard Exchange formats, repositories, etc., started their development a short half century ago. Since the dawn of civilization, human beings have been recording natural events from their environment. At first, in a large variety of documents with or without scientific purposes, but less than three centuries ago we learned to make continuous analogue records of different variables. These historical documents and legacy records retain their value and continue to be useful for the study of the past seismicity and the geomagnetic field of our planet. They supply precious information on earthquakes, hazard and seismic risk, geomagnetic field evolution and the long-term solar climate.

      This session is devoted to the preservation, interpretation, dissemination and use of such records for present-day research. Its wide scope encourages the exchange of experiences at all levels and to create new synergies between IASPEI and IAGA. Many topics are relevant to this field, among them:
• Historical seismology covering documentary study, earthquakes and seismic hazard,
• Legacy seismograms and magnetograms, preservation and use,
• Archiving, mining and re-use of geophysical data,
• Machine learning in digitization of historical data for legacy records (ground motion, space weather and space climate applications),
• Historical models and numerical simulations leveraging legacy data.
• Case studies of historic earthquakes and other geophysical events.
     Other submissions related to historical and analogue data in geosciences are also welcome.

 

Co-Conveners: Ciaran Beggan (UK), Josep Batllo (Spain), Susana Da Silva Custodio (Portugal), Christopher Davies (UK), Kirsten Elger (Germany), Hisashi Hayakawa (Japan), Yasuyuki Kano (Japan), Andrea Rovida (Italy)

 

We look forward to see you in Lisbon.

 

Apologies for cross-posting!
