SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Reflections of a Peripatetic Seismologist: Making B
 roader Impact Deeper
DESCRIPTION:Please register for Reflections of a Peripatetic Seismologi
 st: Making Broader Impact Deeper on March 14\, 2018 2:00 PM
  EDT at: \n\nhttps://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/44397
 29386125586945\n\nPresenter: Dr. Susan Hough\, United States G
 eological Survey - Pasadena\, CA \n\nAbstract: As the IRIS co
 mmunity appreciates as much as anyone\, seismology and relate
 d disciplines are\, by their nature\, global in scope. In addi
 tion to investigations focused on regional tectonics and/or 
 global Earth structure\, there remains an urgent impetus to b
 etter characterize seismic hazard in many parts of the world
  where risk is high and often growing. Additionally\, in many
  parts of the world\, communities of local earthquake profess
 ionals are eager for training and partnerships with the inte
 rnational community. Commonly\, as part of the so-called broa
 der impact\, an international research project includes capac
 ity development activities\, which often take the form of a s
 hort-term training seminar for international partners\, and/o
 r involvement by local partners in field investigations. In 
 this webinar\, I discuss projects I have led in recent years 
 in Haiti\, Nepal\, and Myanmar\, with support from the United S
 tates Agency for International Development (USAID)\, includin
 g the scientific objectives and the lessons learned for capa
 city development.\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a con
 firmation email containing information about joining the web
