Ideas for future seminar themes:

• Instrumentation.
• Regional geology of interest to geophysicists, with a field trip.
• Rotational seismology.
• Physics of seismic waves in the near surface.
• Energy budget/fracture mechanics of earthquakes.
• Slow slip and tremor.
• Tsunami.

Past seminar themes:

• 2009 winter—Multi-week case studies of individual earthquakes.
• 2009 spring—Seismicity induced by changes in pore fluid pressure.
• 2009 fall—Updates about ongoing research.
• 2010 winter—Triggering seismicity.
• 2010 spring—Volcano seismicity.
• 2010 fall—Triggered/induced seismicity and associated seismic hazard.
• 2011 winter—Updates about ongoing research.
• 2011 spring—The great Tohoku earthquake of 11 March 2011.
• 2011 fall—Ice and glacier seismicity.
