Rationale

• Keep international infrasound community up to
  date
• Research
• Global network
• Interesting recent signals (updated event
  bulletin)
• Info on upcoming workshops or other meetings
• Could present early versions of papers
• Increase visibility with acoustics and geophysics
  communities
• Show the monitoring community this is field is
  very active

3
Organization

• Global Representation on Editorial Board
• Distribute quarterly
• Distribute electronically
• E-mail (low-res)
• Web site (low- and high-res)
• Each issue has a feature article

The Union Session on Infrasound at the AGU

• Michael Hedlin and Chris Hayward

28
Subjects

• This session showcases the diversity of current
  infrasound research
• Benchmark papers on Columbia, volcanoes, bolides,
  earthquakes, sprites, elephants, surf, aurora
  activity, avalanches, mining explosions,
  atmospheric propagation, instrumentation, data
  acquisition, noise reduction and the renaissance
  of this field

29
Press Conference

• Unique remote sensing tool
• Probe upward into Earths atmosphere much like
  seismic networks probe down into Earths interior
• Columbia and other significant events

30
Geophysical Monograph

• Treatise on a small or circumscribed area of
  knowledge - e.g. based on papers from a technical
  conference, one or more editors
• High scientific merit
• Sustain focus and consistency throughout
• Peer-reviewed
• Wide audience

31
Proposal

• Draft table of contents
• Description of the scope and nature of the volume
• Base on AGU session or propose to circumscribe
  important current and past work?
• First option relatively easy but second probably
  more interesting in the long term and have
  broader appeal
• Decision based on scientific merit,
  marketability, financial risk

32
Timeline

• Generally available within 12 mos of conference
