IGPP graduate students receive top honors at the Fall 2004 AGU meeting in San Francisco
IGPP graduate students Bettina Allmann (Seismology), Renee Bulow (Planetary Sciences) and
Bridget Smith (Geodesy) all won Outstanding Student
Paper Awards at the Fall 2004 AGU Meeting in San Francisco.
Bettina's poster titled "Characterization of the Late 2003 Microseismic Signal Offshore Southern California" compared
microseismic noise recorded on the ocean floor by an Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS)
with microseismic noise recorded by the
land–based broad–band seismometers of the Trinet,
Anza and GSN networks.
Bettina won the best student paper award in the seismology section.

Renee's poster titled "Optimization of Deep Moonquake Event Stacks in the Apollo Lunar Seismic Data and Applications to Lunar Structure"
focused on the deep moonquakes in the Apollo lunar seismic dataset. The reanalysis of this dataset allowed Renee to discern many new seismic
events and also create an improved dataset for investigating the temporal occurrence of deep moonquakes. Renee won the best student paper award
in the planetary sciences section.

Bridget's talk titled "A 3-D Semi-analytic Viscoelastic Model of the San Andreas Fault System: A 1000-year Perspective of the Earthquake Cycle"
combined historical earthquake data and continuous vertical and horizontal geodetic velocities to
simulate one thousand years of the earthquake cycle for the entire San Andreas Fault System. The data was assembled into animations
of the San Andreas Fault System that captured temporal variations in the plate-boundary velocity vector and stress tensor spanning
the past 1000 years of the earthquake cycle. Bridget won the best student paper award in the geodesy section.

Congratulations to all IGPP's students who made successful oral and poster presentation's at the Fall 2004 AGU meeting. The breadth of research
undertaken by our students is a credit to IGPP, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the University of California San Diego.
