William (Bill) Ellsworth is the new SSA president. He let go of his elected seat on the SSA Board of Directors after a term and one-half to take on the organization's top leadership role.

Ellsworth is a senior research geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park.

During his 35-year career with the USGS, he has conducted research on fundamental problems in seismicity, seismotectonics, probabilistic earthquake forecasting, earthquake source processes and earth structure, while providing leadership and direction in areas of critical importance to the USGS Earthquake and Volcano Hazards Programs. Some of his recent interests include the first scientific drill hole into a major fault zone near Parkfield, California, in 2005; study of the near-field motions during the 2002 Denali fault (Alaska) earthquake; ultra-high-resolution studies of seismic processes using the double-difference method; and development of a widely adopted physically based model for earthquake recurrence.

While on the SSA board of directors, Ellsworth represented the Society on the organizing committee of the 100th Anniversary Earthquake Conference, which commemorated the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the founding of SSA. He has been a strong advocate of promoting scientific applications to educating the public about earthquakes.

He succeeds Michael Fehler, who served as SSA president from 2005 to 2007. Fehler also is an editor emeritus of the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America. Until recently, he was division leader of the Earth and Environmental Sciences Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Later this year, Fehler will . . . [Full Text of this Article]
