Virtual Workshop

Subduction Zone Time Series Legacy Data

October 28 - 30, 2024

Keynotes and breakout session times to be announced

Online


Objectives

To initiate a dialogue within the international scientific community about unarchived time series data that could benefit from public, open access and identify the common barriers to archiving.

DATES: The virtual workshops will scheduled over the course of the week of October 28th to accommodate busy schedules and diverse time zones.

GOALS:  SZNet's Virtual Workshop on Subduction Zone Time Series Legacy Data aims to start a conversation among the scientific community about unarchived data that could benefit from public, open access. For the purpose of this workshop, the focus will be on time series data relevant to subduction zones geohazards such as regional seismic or geodetic data. These data types share some common problems and can benefit from a conversation about a common solution. The outcomes will be twofold:

  1. Identify and curate a list of existing unarchived/inaccessible time series data that could be of benefit to the subduction zone geohazards community if openly available.   

    1.  Identify potential significance of datasets

    2.  Identify major hurdles to archiving specific to each dataset

    3.  Propose, where possible, potential solutions

  2. Disseminate information from major data Centers on archiving policies, procedures and associated costs, where applicable.


STRUCTURE: This virtual workshop will be scheduled over the course of a week to accommodate busy schedules and diverse time zones. Translated close captions will be available for all events. Workshop events will include keynote talks, short talks, and discussion sessions. A detailed agenda will be released prior to the event.


  • Keynote presentations: Keynote talks from representatives of archival organizations discussing existing archiving resources, archival guidelines, costs, barriers to archiving. A detailed list of keynote presentations will be published prior to the event.

  • Short talks: Short talks from members of the international scientific community studying subduction zone geohazards discussing existing inaccessible time series datasets that would benefit from public, open access. These talks will also address the data's scientific import and the issues involved in their archiving. Register to give a short talk here.

  • Topical Discussions Sessions: Focused group discussions on topics of interest to the community. A list of discussion topics and a schedule will ​be published prior to the event.


REGISTRATION: This event is open to all, but registration is required to get access to the meeting and webinar links.
