The British Seismology Meeting 2019 took place at the University of Edinburgh over three days, 4–6 September. The first British Seismology Meeting, BSM2017, was held in Reading in April 2017 (Lieser et al.2018); there had been earlier seismology meetings in the UK, but no wide-ranging cross-disciplinary meetings since Frontiers of Seismology in Edinburgh 2009 (Sargeant et al.2009). In his welcoming address at BSM2017, Dmitry Stor-chak expressed a wish that it would be the first in a series of such meetings, which he thought should become a regular event, perhaps every two years. At the end of the BSM2017 meeting, Anton Ziolkowski offered the University of Edinburgh as a potential venue for BSM2019.BSM2019: Frontiers of Seismology attracted about 70 scientists from the UK and abroad, to present and discuss seismological research, establish new contacts and strengthen existing links. A feature of the meeting was that all posters were available in a large space adjacent to the lecture theatre for viewing, presentation and discussion for the whole period, including coffee breaks, lunch and evening drinks. Feedback from the meeting was very positive. This article presents a brief summary of each session.
