Meeting for a prospective U.S. Department of Energy-funded partner project under the Targeted Initiative on Seismic Monitoring

From November 7-10 the ISTC organized a planning meeting for a prospective U.S. Department of Energy-funded partner project under the Targeted Initiative on Seismic Monitoring. Thirty experts from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and the United States discussed a project to digitize analog seismic data and produce a unified seismic catalog for Central Asia, and then to use the data as a basis for new Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessments for participating countries.  Participants agreed on the scope and organization of the prospective project, and the next steps are for Working Groups to begin preparing ISTC project proposal documentation.
