The Middle East Seismological Forum MESF is a
Non-Profit Scientific Cyber Forum that provides a One-Stop
Web Source for authoritative earthquake information on the
Middle Eastern Region’s seismicity, seismologists and
ongoing scientific activities for a better interaction and
integration with the international seismological
communities.
MESF aims to cover a wide variety of multi
disciplinary earthquake subject areas, such as seismology,
earthquake databases, earthquake engineering, preparedness,
coming events, agencies, associations and human resources,
and the publishing of recent local scientists contributions
on the region, and related topics that relates scientific
research to development.
MESF serves in the capacity of an information conduit
for scientific activities related to research, data
acquisition and publications on the Middle Eastern
Seismicity, Seismic Hazard and related Earth Science
disciplines.
MESF will serve as a Research Center Without Walls
that introduces scientists of the region to each other.
Researchers and Scientists can then cooperate and exchange
knowledge without regard to their geographic locations or
logistical limitations. The absence of a dedicated facility
for the region necessitated this endeavour.
MESF thrives to be the focal point, for the ongoing
academic journals and bulletins involved in publishing
seismological and geophysical research on the region It
would publish the contents of recent issues of national
journals, and therefore serve their objectives of
disseminating local original research to the world
scientific community.
TThe MESF should provide the organizational framework
for joint scientific projects in the region. Seismologists,
Geophysicists and other Earth Scientists can interact, share
data and access digital libraries and other dedicated
websites for pertinent real time data much needed for
research.
MESF avenues for further development will grow
through mutual participation and enthusiasm of interested
scientists and researchers of the region.
