Session ID#: 36565

Session Description:
This session, potentially consisting of oral and poster sections, seeks analysis on the USGS mb 6.3, Ms 5.0 North Korean (DPRK) declared underground nuclear test at 03:30 UTC on September 3, 2017.  This was the sixth and largest DPRK declared nuclear test at the Punggye-ri test site. An apparent aftershock/collapse with USGS ML 4.0, occurred about eight and a half minutes later. North Korea is the only country to have conducted declared nuclear tests in this century, and this is by far the largest nuclear test seismic signal since 1996, when the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty was introduced for signature.  In this session, we seek studies examining any and all of the multi-phenomenological signals (seismic, acoustic, imagery, gas and materials, etc.) generated by this test.  We seek studies that compare this test with previous ones at the Punggye-ri site and with those from other historic nuclear test sites.
