ANSS Seminar Series
The Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS) is a collaboration of Federal, State, and academic partners responsible for providing authoritative information on earthquakes worldwide. The ANSS promotes partnerships among those working at local, regional, and national levels committed to reducing earthquake losses.
Recorded seminars can be viewed here.
The ANSS Seminar Series is a public forum to present, share, and promote earthquake monitoring and research activities that span the spectrum of earthquake loss reduction science: regional and global earthquake monitoring through seismology and geodesy, earthquake and active deformation research, new technology development, public outreach and engagement, earthquake forecasting, earthquake impact and loss assessment, and network development and maintenance, among other activities.
ANSS Seminars will occur on the third Thursday of each month as webinars hosted via Microsoft Teams. Recorded seminars will be available on this webpage.
** Live Webinars will occur at 2:00 pm Mountain Time **
