Ear to the seafloor: using DAS to help harness offshore wind energy
California is looking to build offshore wind electricity generation―distributed acoustic sensing on existing cables could help site these projects.
Tracking magma movement during Mauna Loa’s 2022 eruption: an eye to forecasting
Distinguishing between intermittent unrest and an eruption’s prologue poses a major challenge to volcanologists responsible for forecasting earthquake activity. A recent eruption of Mauna Loa, Hawai’i provided scientists a unique opportunity to tackle this problem.
Yellowstone’s magma system comes into focus
A new study uses a dense array of magnetotelluric measurements to generate a high-resolution image of Yellowstone’s magmatic guts.
Earthquakes make waves in the ionosphere—another signal to study
In order to extract as much information as possible from ionospheric signals, we need to understand the patterns in great detail. A recent paper used the 2016 magnitude 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake to see what we could learn from testing the data against simulations.
2024 Board of Directors election results
The 2024 election results for the Board of Directors, which serves as non-profit governance to EarthScope Consortium, are compiled and ready to share.
EarthScope presents at AWS re:Invent conference
EarthScope Cloud Architect Alex Hamilton attended the annual Amazon Web Services conference to present on the cloud data systems delivering geodetic data to the ShakeAlert Earthquake Early Warning System.
Towards a Global Partnership for Solid Earth Research
Solid Earth Research infrastructures in Europe, the US, and Australia announce landmark agreement to enhance collaboration across continents, inviting global participation.
Strainmeters and GNSS stations reveal subtle fault movements after the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake
When we experience a significant earthquake—along with any foreshocks or aftershocks associated with it—the shaking is hard to ignore. But there are also subtle movements afterward we may only notice with the help of precision instruments.
Meet TileDB—one key to cloud optimizing our data archives
We want scientific inquiries to face as few speedbumps as possible, enabling you to do more with less time invested. Let’s talk a little about the way we’re structuring data storage to help make that happen.
Cloud case study: Using DAS to listen to glacial meltwater streams
A recent paper used DAS on Rhône Glacier in the Swiss Alps to infer the discharge of meltwater streams. We talked with one of the authors about how they wrangled this large dataset.
