Putting the Cloud to Work for Seismology
The cloud infrastructure developed in the business community has made access to cluster computing possible for even the smallest research groups, enabling new kinds of research workflows in geophysics.
Follow The ‘Hum’: The Seismic Signal of Pacific Ocean Storms
Have you ever noticed that the Earth is humming? Seismologists have! Discover how individual storms in the northern Pacific Ocean generate a long-period seismic signal.
Dimitri Komatitsch (1970–2019)
Dimitri Komatitsch had a profound impact on computational seismology and embodied the notion of open-source, collaborative research.
Project VoiLA: Volatile Recycling in the Lesser Antilles
Deep water cycle studies have largely focused on subduction of lithosphere formed at fast spreading ridges. However, oceanic plates are more likely to become hydrated as spreading rate decreases.
Unused Fiber-Optic Cables Repurposed as Seismic Sensors
So-called dark fiber can serve as regional seismic activity monitors and also detect earthquakes thousands of kilometers away, according to new research.
Forecasting Seismicity from Wastewater Disposal in Oklahoma
Mandated wastewater injection reductions in effect since 2016 are inadequate for preventing future, large-magnitude earthquakes in the state, according to a new induced seismicity model.
Seismic Anisotropy Due to a Compositionally Layered Mantle
Investigating the role of layered rocks and compositional banding on mineral scale in generating seismic anisotropy in the mantle.
Humming Ice Shelf Changes Its Seismic Tune with the Weather
Seismic waves resonating within the upper layers of the Ross ice shelf could help scientists monitor the Antarctic melt season and understand factors that could lead to sudden ice shelf collapse.
Taking Magnetotelluric Data out of the Drawer
Magnetic and electric field measurements at Earth’s surface provide information on Earth’s interior and on space weather. An open-source central repository of these data has received a major update.
