During 5th-7th April, seismologists from the UK and abroad met in Reading for the first conference
organised by the International Seismological Centre (ISC) in its 50+ year history.
There was great support from the seismology community, with 112 attendees, 44 talks,
43 posters and exhibits from Güralp, Optics11, AWE and the British Geological Survey.
Topics covered at the meeting include: induced seismicity, earthquake physics, seismic hazard,
networks and catalogues, tomography and forensic, passive, laboratory and computational seismology.
Thanks to BGA sponsorship, BSM2017 hosted seven invited speakers; Professor Torsten Dahm
(GFZ, Potsdam), Dr Steven Gibbons (NORSAR, Norway), Dr Tom Mitchell (University College London),
Dr Tarje Nissen-Meyer (University of Oxford), Dr Andy Nowacki (University of Leeds),
Dr Eleonore Stutzmann (IPGP, France), and Dr Roger Musson (BGS and University of Edinburgh).
On behalf of AWE, eight student conference grants were awarded to current Masters and Ph.D.
students, all of whom presented novel research that is helping to update current understanding
in their fields of seismology. AWE also awarded two best poster prizes for early career
researchers Jennifer Jenkins (University of Cambridge) and Emily Crowder (University of Aberdeen).
Overall, the meeting celebrated the fantastic and diverse research going on in the UK and around
the world. The positive feedback and enthusiasm from BSM2017 attendees has highlighted the
benefit of a UK-based seismology meeting every two to three years, and we look forward to BSM2019!
