Fast and Slow: Chile’s subduction zone moves in distinct ways
Though Chile is known for several major earthquakes, the Atacama seismic gap features slow movement that scientists seek to unravel.
Thorium spikes in Colorado streams could be caused by bedrock fractures
Changes in trace amounts of the element thorium in two Colorado catchments appear to be explained by subsurface fracturing. The cause of fracturing might be attributable to distant earthquakes.
Former intern finds curious signal in geyser eruption data
Seismic monitoring of Yellowstone’s Steamboat Geyser showed that signals appeared weaker in winter—because of snow cover.
EarthScope Board of Directors selects CEO
The EarthScope Consortium Board of Directors is pleased to announce the selection of Dr. Rebecca Bendick as the first CEO of EarthScope Consortium.
Many Hands Make Light Work at Distributed Acoustic Sensing Field Experience
The hands-on Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) Field Experience was held at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado, gathering participants for intensive work exploring this exciting technology and the observations it enables.
Fluids flowing beneath Cascadia
Subduction zones play a crucial role in recycling old oceanic crust, while also carrying water into Earth’s interior. Magnetotelluric imaging can help scientists better see where fluids have accumulated in the crust.
From crust to core: how subduction relates to ultralow velocity zones
Ultralow velocity zones are among the strangest structures inside Earth and their origins have been debated for decades—including a new paper in Science Advances.
New engineering effort looks to develop a common sensor platform
For EarthScope Consortium’s instrumentation staff, the merger of IRIS and UNAVCO isn’t just about the people. The instruments themselves now have more opportunities to team up, too.
Piloting fees for commercial use of positioning and correction data
We believe there is an opportunity to further our science support mission and to ensure we can better meet the needs of commercial users by piloting the implementation of fees for commercial use of real-time data.
