A
two-day meeting on Seismology past, present and future.
The UK has a rich history in the science of Seismology, and it is just over 100 years since the death of John Milne, the man who introduced the word ‘seismometer’ to the science. At a time when major facets of the subject are being, perhaps have been superseded - for example onshore controlled source crustal seismology by passive seismic methods - and so are becoming ‘historical’, this meeting has been designed to explore the UK’s contribution to Seismology. While science does not recognize national boundaries, the seismological work that has been undertaken in the UK since at least the time of Robert Hooke and the founding of the Royal Society is peculiarly amenable to presentation at an Institute of Physics History of Physics Group sponsored meeting.
