Modernizing the ISC location procedures
Perugia workshop 2007
Presentations
The following posters were presented and discussed during the poster session in the Rocca Paolina undeground palace on July 10. Summaries of all poster presentations were given during the well attended oral session on July 11 in the Law School of the University. The summaries were followed by a discussion.

The discussion and recommendations given by the workshop participants have led to the following IASPEI resolution:
RECOGNIZING that the workshops on Modernizing ISC location procedures have demonstrated that the ak135 traveltime tables provide a better fit than the Jeffreys-Bullen (JB) tables to observed seismic phases,
IASPEI RECOMMENDS that the International Seismological Centre replace the JB model by ak135 for the routine location of seismic events.
