Knowing how much the ground will shake requires a good model of seismic velocity.
Comparing seismic data and drone imagery near a churning lava lake shows the signal of bursting bubbles.
Model catalogs quarry blasts, heavy machinery noise, and other anthropogenic signals that can muddy seismic data.
No single map of sediment thickness across the conterminous U.S. existed that used a consistent method — until this new one based on Transportable Array seismic data.
Between 2004 and 2021, seismometers were deployed in more than 2,000 locations as part of the USArray.
The Tatun Volcano Group rises near the Taipei metropolitan area — home to more than 7 million people. Though no record exists of eruptions in human history, recent seismicity indicates that these volcanoes might be growing restive.
The Aluto volcanic complex is Ethiopia’s only geothermal site. Microseismicity reveals volcanic structure and seasonality of earthquakes.
A series of Apollo missions put seismometers on the Moon, allowing us to learn a lot about our neighbor’s interior.
Seismic noise can serve as an indicator of wave action and sea ice coverage offshore.
