CURRICULUM VITAE: LUCIANA ASTIZ Professional Experience CURRICULUM VITAE: LUCIANA ASTIZ Professional Experience Ass. Dir. IGPP Real Time Data Array U.C. San Diego October 2005 to present Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, U.C. San Diego. Oversee general operations of the Array Network Facility for the USArray, an NSF Earthscope project, with the project PI, Dr. Frank L. Vernon. Design automatic procedures and methods to monitor data quality, including review of instrumental calibrations, measurements of network performance, data retrieval and data quality of broadband recordings of real and non-real time data are part of my technical responsibilities. Integrate results of earthquake locations throughout the U.S.; evaluate magnitude thresholds and tectonic/anthropomorphic origin of seismic signals recorded by USArray stations. Communication with researchers, journalists, and the public for information related to USArray and ANF results. Editor in Chief of Seismological Research Letters January 2007 to February 2011 SRL is a bimonthly publication of the Seismological Society of America, which is more eclectic in nature with about one hundred submissions a year. Articles in this journal are refereed that are included in the scientific citation index. I am responsible for the review process, final publication and layout of each issue. My volunteer service as Editor of SRL started in September 2006, as such I participate in SSA’s Board of Directors Meetings. During my tenure as Editor 24 issues were published one of which contained a special issue on Earthquake Early Warning. Seismic Officer - P4 grade level CTBTO February 1999 to September 2005 International Monitoring System Division / Seismic Monitoring Section, Provisional Technical Secretariat, Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization, Vienna, Austria. My responsibilities at the IMS were technical, scientific, and administrative for work done inside the organization and with the scientific staff of nearly 30 of the 170 globally based seismic monitoring facilities named in the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. I conducted expensive field work related to the establishment of the IMS network in many countries including Canada, China, Egypt, Guatemala, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Mexico, United States, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe. I was responsible for site surveys as well as for developing and testing software to analyze data recorded during our field operations. From the analysis of these data the best sites for 3-component stations and the design of regional seismic arrays has been determined. In addition, the results have helped defined a new low seismic noise model at high frequencies. I coordinated efforts for station upgrades, new constructions and equipment installation and testing for at least 10 seismic stations, of which 4 are regional arrays. The later were multimillion-dollar projects. I have written technical terms of reference, performed technical and financial reviews of proposals for many projects as well as provided definition to the certification process for IMS seismic facilities against established technical requirements. In addition, I have organized and develop curricula for many of the international technical training programs for seismic station operators offered by IMS since the fall of 1999. Postdoctoral Research Fellow U.C. San Diego February 1995 to Feb. 1999 Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, U.C. San Diego. At IGPP I worked under the supervision of Peter Shearer, working on precise relocation of earthquake clusters in southern California and in the Borderland region to better understand the regional tectonics. Together with Paul Earle and Peter Shearer, we produced the IRIS 10th Anniversary Poster by stacking broadband recordings of moderate and large earthquakes to produce and obtain empirical travel-time curves. The same technique was applied to regional data recorded by KNET. I continued my work on estimates of seismic noise level for IRIS seismic stations and for related instrumental studies, which I did in cooperation with the IDA project. Results are widely available in electronic form at the IRIS web page. In cooperation with Frank Vernon at IGPP and colleagues at SDSU, UNR and CICESE in Ensenada, Mexico, I lead an experiment of 11 broadband sensors across Baja California, the Northern Baja Transect, starting in October 1997 recording data for about 9 months which helped determine the crustal structure across this divergent plate boundary and other source seismic studies to understand the tectonics of the area. IRIS Postdoctoral Research Fellow U. W. May 1992 to December 1994 Geophysics Program at the University of Washington Dr. Ken Creager and I developed software tools to automate the analysis of data from stations of the Federation of Digital Seismic Network stations. The estimated robust power spectral density functions of seismic noise for stations worldwide were published in the FDSN Station Book edited by IRIS in 1995 and 1997. C.V.: Luciana Astiz 1 of 7 June 2014 Postdoctoral Research Fellow U. W.

  • Appendices Due to Concerns Over the Quality of the Data Collected
    APPENDIX A WSU 2014-19 STRATEGIC PLAN Appendix A: WSU Strategic Plan 2014-15 Strategic Plan 2014-2019 President Elson S. Floyd, Ph.D. Strategic Plan 2014-2019 Introduction The 2014-19 strategic plan builds on the previous five-year plan, recognizing the core values and broad mission of Washington State University. Goals and strategies were developed to achieve significant progress toward WSU’s aspiration of becoming one of the nation’s leading land-grant universities, preeminent in research and discovery, teaching, and engagement. The plan emphasizes the institution’s unique role as an accessible, approachable research institution that provides opportunities to an especially broad array of students while serving Washington state’s broad portfolio of social and economic needs. While providing exceptional leadership in traditional land-grant disciplines, Washington State University adds value as an integrative partner for problem solving due to its innovative focus on applications and its breadth of program excellence. The plan explicitly recognizes the dramatic changes in public funding that have occurred over the duration of the previous strategic plan, along with the need for greater institutional nimbleness, openness, and entrepreneurial activity that diversifies the University’s funding portfolio. In addition, the plan reaffirms WSU’s land-grant mission by focusing greater attention system-wide on increasing access to educational opportunity, responding to the needs of Washington state through research, instruction, and outreach, and contributing to economic development and public policy. While the new plan retains the four key themes of the previous plan, its two central foci include offering a truly transformative educational experience to undergraduate and graduate students and accelerating the development of a preeminent research portfolio.

  • Brochures (Pdf) and the Slides of the Different Presentations Given at the GIFT Workshops Over the Past 13 Years
    Dear Teachers, A very warm welcome to our 26th Geosciences Information for Teachers (GIFT) workshop/ conference. Over the years, GIFT has become an integral part of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly and we are very glad that EGU puts such high priority on education, allowing us all to benefit. This year we are in for a real treat as we explore together ‘Plate tectonics, yesterday, today and tomorrow’. We welcome global experts in different aspects of plate tectonics as well as experienced providers of professional development in geoscience classroom teaching. Our programme this year includes the following: • A welcome from our EGU President, Jonathan Bamber from Bristol University in the UK and by EGU Vice-President Alberto Montanari, from the University of Bologna, Italy. They have promised to be there! • We begin our presentations with a focus on the big plate tectonic picture, from yesterday, today and tomorrow. We are privileged indeed to have with us one of the founders of plate tectonic theory, Xavier Le Pichon from Collège de France, France who will introduce us to the early thinking about plate tectonics and how this word-changing theory evolved. Xavier will also be presenting an open lecture later in the General Assembly, to which you are all invited. In the next presentation, Carlo Laj, a key member and past chair of the EGU Committee on Education and a member of the École Normale Supérieure PSL Research University in France will remind us of the remarkable story of how the magnetic anomalies over ocean ridges were found and contributed to our understanding of sea floor spreading, giving us particular insights from Fred Vine, one of the key contributors.

  • 2019 NASA Science Calendar
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2019 www.nasa.gov “Action without vision is only passing time, vision without action is merely day dreaming, but vision with action can change the world.” – Nelson Mandela At NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, our vision propels us to be purposeful and blur the lines between the present and future. From the first 60 years of NASA Science and into the future, our goal is to reach beyond what we know by investigating nature—the Earth, the Moon, the Sun, other worlds of our solar system, the countless stars and galaxies, and the universe—where we can learn more. Staying true to our roots, we are using the lessons history has taught us through past lunar exploration to expand future commercial and international partnerships, as well as create new innovative approaches for attaining human and science exploration goals. We also use lunar exploration to light our way and unlock the secrets of Mars. NASA science research does more than just satisfy human curiosity to explore the universe around us, it also improves and saves the lives of people around the world every day. As we appreciate the power and wonder of nature, we also inspire future generations of scientists, engineers, and curious minds to seek answers to questions we haven’t yet even thought to ask. The selected images in the calendar are nature’s art. Each is a moment in space and time that represents the efforts of many individuals committed to the scientific pursuit of knowledge and advancement of humankind. As Nelson Mandela stated, a vision with action can truly change the world.
