going to ssa meeting 2009

I am going to Monterey Bay for the SSA meeting. In the meeting, there are two sessions that attract me: one is great surface rupture, discussing the relationship between historic earthquake from paleoseismology and current great earthquake that had great surface ruptures. The ideal case would be the spatial correlation of the slip area between historic and modern-day earthquakes following a rule. The other one is LiDAR (light detection and ranging), this new technology enable us to measure the topography in a resolution less than one meter over a large area, that will be helpful in improving topographic phase correction to better accuracy for InSAR.
