Subsurface Imaging Sheds Light on Dead Sea Sinkholes
Using seismic waves, researchers study sediment layering near the Dead Sea to reveal how the area’s numerous sinkholes form.
Glacial Lake Outburst Flood Captured in Seismic Recordings
A flood that thundered through eastern Nepal in July 2016 left a telltale seismic signature and caused more erosion than local monsoon rains, new research shows.
Searching for Signs of Marsquakes
Researchers use high-resolution images of Mars’s surface to look for signals of coseismic displacement.
Seismic Sensors Record a Hurricane’s Roar
Newly installed infrasound sensors at a Global Seismographic Network station on Puerto Rico recorded the sounds of Hurricane Maria passing overhead.
Chaos Beneath a Calm Sea
Seismic data help reveal fine-scale wave breaking, instability and turbulence in the ocean interior.
Fiber-Optic Networks Can Be Used as Seismic Arrays
A new study repurposes telecommunications cables to harness sound from light. The method can accurately measure ground motion from distant earthquakes.
A Novel Way to Track Magma Flow
Sparse seismic data can accurately predict volcanic eruptions.
Computational Seismology Workshop Trains Early-Career Scientists
2017 CIG–LLNL Computational Seismology Workshop; Livermore, California, 18–22 September 2017
Scientists Create Catalog of Altotiberina Fault in Italy
More than 37,000 small earthquakes paint a picture of the fault’s behavior and seismic potential.
