From ljhwang at ucdavis.edu Thu Dec 7 15:54:07 2017 From: ljhwang at ucdavis.edu (Lorraine Hwang) Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2017 15:54:07 -0800 Subject: [CIG-ALL] CGU/CIG June 10-14, Niagara Falls: Call for Session Proposals Message-ID: Call for Session Proposals for the 2018 Joint Meeting of the CGU, CSSS, CIG, ES-SSA and CSAFM Niagara Falls, ON Dear colleagues, The 2018 Joint Meeting of the CGU (Canadian Geophysical Union), CSSS (Canadian Soil Science Society), CIG (Computational Infrastructure in Geodynamics), ES-SSA (Eastern Section of the Seismological Society of America) and CSAFM (Canadian Society for Agricultural and Forest Meteorology) will be held in Niagara Falls, Ontario, June 10-14, 2018. More detailed information will be posted as it becomes available on the Joint Meeting website at https://meeting2018.cgu-ugc.ca . The theme of the Joint Meeting, which reflects a range of scientific interests, is Discovery and Scientific Progress Together, and scientific sessions are being invited for all areas of interest encompassed by the partner organizations. At this time, we are inviting interested members of all societies to propose and to take the lead on organizing scientific sessions. We also encourage the proposal of sessions covering subjects that may attract interest across two or more partner societies. To plan a session for the 2018 Joint Meeting, please submit your proposal, using the attached template, to niagara2018JM at gmail.com . The proposal should include the concise session title, contact information and affiliation of the proposed session conveners or co-conveners, a short paragraph of up to 200 words describing the scientific content of the session, and the intended partner organization(s) audience. All session proposals should be received by January 15, 2018 by 11:59 pm eastern time. Notifications of accepted session proposals will be made by late January 2018. On-line abstract submissions will be due in early March 2018. For session organizer/chair duties, we would anticipate that you would then encourage your contacts to submit abstracts for that session, would lead decisions on acceptance and scheduling of abstracts as oral and/or poster platform presentations, and would chair or co-chair the running of that session at the Joint Meeting. Sessions will be organized into 11⁄2-hour blocks of six 15-minute presentations (abstracts), or organizers may allot 30-minutes for an invited lead speaker and four 15-minute presentations. Poster sessions will also be part of the scientific program. Final decisions on whether an oral session will be convened and the total number of oral and poster sessions on a particular topic will be a function of the number of abstracts submitted to the session. Note that the Joint Meeting does not cover travel expenses for invited speakers associated with proposed sessions. Scientific and plenary sessions of the Joint Meeting will take place from Monday, June 11 through Thursday, June 14 2018. Any particular demand in terms of workshops, business meetings, courses and other Joint Meeting-related events may be accommodated but are dependent on available space. For such requests, please contact the Local Organizing Committee at niagara2018JM at gmail.com . We look forward to receiving your submissions. Sincerely, Carl Mitchell CGU Vice-President Scientific Program Committee Chair -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This session is a forum for presenting advances in numerical methodology, whether the principal context is observational, mathematical/numerical, computational or application-based. We invite contributions focused on development, verification and validation of numerical-modeling methods and methodologically important applications especially to earthquake ground motion, seismic noise and rupture dynamics, including applications from the field of induced seismicity with particular focus on multi-physics aspects, for example, combining fluid migration and stress transfer in porous media with rupture dynamics and wave propagation in poro-elastic media and integration of dynamic event modeling with simulation of the full seismic cycle. We encourage contributions on the analysis of methods, fast algorithms, high-performance implementations, large-scale simulations, non-linear behavior, multi-scale problems and confrontation of methods with data. Looking forward to see you in Miami, Peter Moczo, Steve Day, Jozef Kristek PS: apologies for multiples -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We hope you had a productive meeting, enjoyed the southern ambience of New Orleans, and have made it safely home. As you are reflecting on your accomplishments this year, please remember to send us your publications that use CIG software. Close to 100 papers have been published this year using CIG software. Add yours to the list! If you cite the software used in your paper, we most likely already have this in our database. Check our publication database at: https://geodynamics.org/cig/news/publications-refbase/ If your publication is not listed here, please submit through the form: https://geodynamics.org/cig/news/publications-refbase/submit/ or simply reply to this email with a DOI and software package name. Confused how to cite software? See our citation builder tool: https://geodynamics.org/cig/abc Citation is the best way to make sure your refereed publication is captured and our developers get the credit they deserve! Have a safe and warm holiday season.
