Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (BSSA) is a bimonthly peer reviewed scientific journal published by the Seismological Society of America. The editor-in-chief is Thomas Pratt (U. S. Geological Survey). The journal covers seismology and related disciplines.
Seismological Research Letters (SRL), first issued in 1987, is a peer-reviewed journal published bimonthly both in print and online. [3] This journal appeals to a broader international audience of geoscientists beyond seismology as well as a possible crossover audience beyond the geoscientific specialties.
The International Seismological Summary (ISS) is a global earthquake catalog covering the period from 1918 to 1963. [1]The need for an international exchange of seismology data was recognised by John Milne, who in 1899 began collating and publishing data from 35 observatories from around the world.
IASPEI initiates and co-ordinates international researches and scientific discussion on scientific and applied seismology. [ 3 ] The activities of IASPEI focus on the societal impacts of earthquakes and tsunamis, with four regional commissions promoting high standards of seismological education, outreach and international scientific cooperation.
Seismology (/ s aɪ z ˈ m ɒ l ə dʒ i, s aɪ s-/; from Ancient Greek σεισμός (seismós) meaning "earthquake" and -λογία (-logía) meaning "study of") is the scientific study of earthquakes (or generally, quakes) and the generation and propagation of elastic waves through planetary bodies.
The On-line Bulletin (a printed summary is available for a fee) is the main collection of ISC data, organised by events. After approximately two years all of the data collected for an event is reviewed and the hypocenters and magnitudes recalculated; the Reviewed Bulletin is "regarded as the definitive record of the Earth's seismicity."
The organization publishes the Journal of the Seismological Society of Japan (地震, Jishin) abbreviated at "J Seismol Soc Jpn". The publication is also known as Zisin, which is a syllabic abbreviation. [6] The SSJ also sponsors the journal Earth, Planets and Space. [7]
He was head of the institution from 1993 to 1997. As director of the Seismological Network of Albania, he led several international and regional projects and published a wide array of scientific articles and books. From 1998 to 2005 Muço co-led two NATO Science for Peace projects on seismology.
