Symposium Location
The location for SEISMIX 2012 is Beijing China.
Beijing, the capital of China, is an ancient city with a long history of 3000 years. The long history leaves Beijing lots of precious cultural treasures, including the Great Wall, Summer Palace, Forbidden City, Tiantan, ect., that have already been well-known to the world. However, the authentic old Beijing life is probably best represented by its many teahouses, temple fairs, Hutongs and square courtyards, the Peking Opera and the different styles of Chinese cuisine. Now Beijing is a modern and fashionable city complete with a full 21st Century vitality, similar to other great metropolis elsewhere in today's world. Particularly, the success of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games has brought great changes to Beijing, strengthening its international status in the world.
Hotel:JINGZHIHU Holiday Hotel
The hotel has more than 100 well-equipped rooms and suites and has successfullyblended a classical design with modernfacilities. The luxurious executive rooms and luxurious villa are tailored to meet the needsof those that like a little extra pampering and will offer you high-grade services and enjoyment.

We suggest you to come a few days earlier or staying a few days afterwards to visit the places of historic interest and enjoy the authentic old Beijing life.
Our postsymposium excursion will (1) leave Beijing to Chendu (the captial of Sichuan Province) by train, (2) bus to Eastern Tibet (transition from 1st, Tibet to 2rd, Sichuan basin topography plateform in China): featured with Longmenshan fault belt and Ms. 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake zone May 12, 2008 and its reconstruction after the event; and (3)ship to Wuhan (the captial of Hubei Province) by taking ship along Yangtze river, and we will have time to see the three-georges dam (the biggest hydropower dam around the world) and the crustal deformation between the second and the thrid topography platforms; (4) back to Beijing from Wuhan by train. It is estimated we need 5-6 days for the whole excursion.
Symposium Program
As in previous SEISMIX meetings we will organize the meeting into one session without any parallel sessions. Previous experience from SEISMIX meetings tells that this encourages discussions. Posters are an important component of the meeting. We invite both oral and poster presentations. It is recommended that you prepare your oral presentation also into a poster to obtain the maximum attention to your results. The conference topics will include (but are not strictly limited to):
- Passive continental margins
- Active continental margins and subduction structures
- Intra-continental collision and accretion
- Continental rifts and basins
- The continental mantle
- Innovative seismic acquisition and processing techniques
- Numerical modelling and inverse methods in seismology
- Integrated multidisciplinary case studies
Symposium Abstract Volume
Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, will publish the abstract volume in its Records series in order to ensure that authors have a citeable and enduring reference for tracking purposes. The symposium abstract volume will be produced prior to the Symposium and distributed to the participants on arrival at registration.
Abstract Submission
The Symposium venue is equipped with a digital computer projector for oral presentations (e.g. Powerpoint, PDF) and an overhead projector. A separate room is available for poster presentations.
Oral presentations
Each oral presentation requires an abstract. Abstracts specifications are similar to previous symposium requirements. Abstract submission is via web submission.
Poster Presentations
The size of the poster board is 2.4m wide x 1.8m high (2.32m x 1.12m useable space). Please prepare posters to fit this space. Each poster requires an abstract.
Abstract submission deadline is the 16th May, 2012. Please submit your abstract using the Abstract Submission Form.
