Henry Bass’ contributions to the infrasound renaissance: Notes from the field.

Abstract

The deployment of the international monitoring system global infrasound network at the turn of the 21st century inspired a renaissance in innovation, development, and application of infrasound technology. In the United States, Hank Bass was responsible for defining and directing the scientific agenda, and he skillfully navigated the turbulent waters of national and international policy through a decade of administration changes. In addition, he created and nurtured a cohesive community of collaborating partners in academia, industry, and government. This presentation honors Hank’s contributions to the field of infrasound within the context of past, present, and future research efforts in the U.S. and abroad.
