William B. Joyner Memorial Lectures

The William B. Joyner Memorial Lectures were established by the Seismological Society of America (SSA) in cooperation with the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) to honor Bill Joyner's distinguished career at the U.S. Geolog ical Survey and his abiding commitment to the exchange of information at the interface of earthquake science and earthquake engineering in order to keep society safer from earthquakes. Joyner Lecturers are chosen on the basis of their work at this interface, whether they are making contributions from earthquake science to earthquake engineering or from earthquake engi neering to earthquake science. Joyner Lectures usually are presented at the annual meetings of SSA and EERI.

The first Joyner Lecturer, for the calendar year 2004, was Lloyd Cluff (see the article of the same title in Seismological Research Letters 75, pp.153–154, 2004). The second Joyner Lecturer (2005) was C. Allin Cornell, and the third Joyner lecturer (2006) was Norm Abrahamson (see the article of the same title in Seismological Research Letters vol. 77, pp.132–133).

Gail Atkinson was the Joyner Lecturer for 2007. She is Professor of Geophysics at University of Western Ontario and has spent much of her career working at the engineering-seismology interface. She has authored more than 100 research articles on the subjects of earthquake ground motions and seismic hazards; among these are well-known prediction . . . [Full Text of this Article]
