A series of unfortunate events: climate change causes remote landslide, tsunami, and seiche
In East Greenland, a mysterious tsunami hit a military base on a remote island tucked into the fjords. At the same time, seismologists noticed a weird signal on seismic stations located around the world.
Pancakes are the future of geophysical data processing
What can’t be explained by a delicious food metaphor? Maybe geophysical research in the cloud, but we’re going to try anyway.
Scientists explore past eruptions—and periods of quiet—at Mount St. Helens
When seismic sensors aren’t detecting earthquakes, they’re picking up other vibrations—even shakes too subtle for people to feel. This ambient seismic noise might be able to tell scientists what’s happening at Mount St. Helens during times of activity and purported respite.
InSight data may have revealed water deep below the surface of Mars
A new paper using InSight data presents a noteworthy conclusion—seismic velocity data is best explained by the presence of liquid water.
Deprecation for irisFetch MATLAB client
We regret to inform you that the irisFetch Matlab-based client is not compatible with recently released Matlab versions 2023a and onward.
Sea level rise projections depend on improved bedrock models
A new study uses the latest maps of the structure beneath Antarctica to see how important realistic crust and mantle information is to sea level rise. The answer? It’s pretty important.
A successful run for the first short course in the GeoLab notebook hub
The July 8-12 Massive Parallel Analysis System for Seismologists (MsPASS) short course was the first to run in our GeoLab JupyterHub environment, showcasing one of the benefits of the new cloud-based platform we are building.
What’s shaking at Yale? A Raspberry Shake has some answers
Yale scientists discuss how to incorporate a low-cost, education-ready seismic sensor with coursework and outreach.
After 18 years, Magnetotelluric Array completes survey of contiguous US
On June 10, the Magnetotelluric Array completed its last deployment, successfully filling in the last blank spot in the contiguous US after 18 years.
Congratulations to retiring leaders in Instrumentation
Three long-term fixtures of our instrumentation programs are retiring this summer.
