The Seismological Society of America (SSA) is an international scientific society devoted to the advancement of seismology and the understanding of earthquakes for the benefit of society. Founded in 1906, the society has members throughout the world representing seismologists and other geophysicists, geologists, engineers, insurers, and policy-makers in preparedness and safety.

History

The society was established by academic, government, and other scientific and engineering professionals in the months following the April 18th San Francisco earthquake, with the first meeting of the Board of Directors taking place on December 1, 1906.

Publications

The Seismological Society of America publishes the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (BSSA), a journal of research in earthquake seismology and related disciplines since 1911, and Seismological Research Letters (SRL), which serves as a forum for informal communication among seismologists, as well as between seismologists and those non-specialists interested in seismology and related disciplines.

Meetings

The society hosts an annual meeting every April. The meeting is open to anyone. SSA members receive a discount on their meeting registration. The Eastern Section of SSA hosts an annual meeting each fall.

gollark: It also contains valid disk IDs for each UUID and disk IDs are unique to each disk and unspoofable.

gollark: The program *on* the disks downloads a license info JSON from the interweb when it runs. This contains the features each UUID is allowed to use.

gollark: The program I use to write and sign them also writes on a UUID, which is signed.

gollark: Basically, it can refuse to run unsigned or invalidly signed disks - you can run them elsewhere but having potatOS run them unsandboxed is the only real use.

gollark: <@154361670188138496> PotatOS manages to make licensing/copyprotection to actually work well (on the OmniDisk\™s) because of a constrained environment like that.
