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.
Seismologists use earthquake doublets to see how inner core flips its motion
A set of studies explores questions pertaining to the rotation of the inner core relative to Earth’s mantle.
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.
