Prof. Alan Kafka receives 2020 Jesuit Seismological Association Award

Each year, the Eastern Section of the Seismological Society of America presents the Jesuit Seismological Association Award to honor outstanding contributions to observational seismology. Prof. Alan Kafka was the 2020 recipient of the award that reflects the legacy of Jesuit seismologists who operated many seismic stations around the world in the early 20th century and made significant contributions to research in seismology. Prof. Kafka (top) was presented with the award at this year's online meeting by EES Prof. John Ebel (bottom), who also received this award in 2003.
