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.
Cloud case study: Mining the seismic archive for a new earthquake catalog
Check out our conversation with Yiyu Ni about a project using machine learning to generate an earthquake catalog from over a petabyte of data from the archive.
An unusual tsunami in Japan looks to have been caused by a submarine caldera
In the first week of October in 2023, earthquakes struck in a cluster near submarine volcanoes off Japan, producing a tsunami.
Golden Triangle temblors reveal thickness of earthquake-prone crust
A recent study of the hidden seismic hazards within the Golden Triangle region of Laos, Thailand and Myanmar found new faults and interesting patterns in the depths of the fault motion.
Cloud computing at the Community Science Workshop
If you weren’t able to join us at the 2025 NSF GAGE/SAGE Community Science Workshop, here’s a quick overview of the cloud-related highlights.
Radar reveals a Greenland glacier’s daily balancing act
Terrestrial Radar Interferometry can help detect how rising sea levels put pressure on Greenland’s Helheim Glacier.
A popular earthquake figure gets a major update
We’ve published a new version of this popular figure with a significant change to clarify comparisons between earthquakes and other kinds of events.
Ghosts and swarms put spotlight on seismicity in South Carolina
Could a set of local railroad ghost stories be related to small, understudied earthquakes?
