An overview of cloud computing in the petabyte era of seismology
If you work with seismic data, put this recent paper on your reading list.
The USArray project was a “think big” moment for seismology
Between 2004 and 2021, seismometers were deployed in more than 2,000 locations as part of the USArray.
Seismic imaging detects changes beneath volcano outside Taipei
The Tatun Volcano Group rises near the Taipei metropolitan area — home to more than 7 million people. Though no record exists of eruptions in human history, recent seismicity indicates that these volcanoes might be growing restive.
Seismic data show what’s driving an Ethiopian geothermal field
The Aluto volcanic complex is Ethiopia’s only geothermal site. Microseismicity reveals volcanic structure and seasonality of earthquakes.
What’s inside the Moon? Seismology can show us
A series of Apollo missions put seismometers on the Moon, allowing us to learn a lot about our neighbor’s interior.

Quite accomplished for a 22-year-old: celebrating the Network of the Americas
It’s been 22 years since the NSF first funded an ambitious project to build a large-scale geodetic network we now know as the Network of the Americas. As the NSF GAGE facility award reaches its end, it’s worth looking back at how we got here.
As Arctic sea ice declines, seismometers hear waves beating on unprotected shores
Seismic noise can serve as an indicator of wave action and sea ice coverage offshore.
