Abstract
Not coincidentally, most of the world’s best astronomical sites are in seismically active areas. As telescopes increase in aperture, they become increasingly sensitive to seismic loads. In this workshop, we want to collect the knowledge, experience, and lessons learned from the previous generations of observatories, to inform the design and construction of future observatories, including the ELTs (ELT, GMT, and TMT). Topics for the workshop include earthquake-induced damage to observatories (telescopes, instruments, enclosures), seismic protection systems and improvements in existing observatories, design of seismic protection systems for new and future observatories, processes and operational procedures for recovery and return to operations following seismic events, and lessons learned that can be applied to the design and operation of future observatories.
