When features below Earth’s surface aren’t easily visible, geophysicists turn to their multi-disciplinary toolbox for answers. In a new study, geophysicists took a listen to ambient noise with seismometers to map out the complex structure of a Florida aquifer. 

Ambitions to return to the Moon are accompanied with plans to build a lunar base. Finding a suitable location for long-term habitation, however, requires careful exploration of the lunar surface. A newly discovered lunar cave could be the answer.

Using geophysical instrumentation and techniques can allow researchers to understand how natural resources may be affected by changing climate, and how we can manage these changes properly.

Summer Czarnowski is entering their last semester at North Dakota State University for their degree in geology. They are one of EarthScope’s Summer 2024 RESESS Interns at Sandia National Labs in Albuquerque.

Remote sensing can be essential for rapidly collecting information about destruction levels, famine, and other humanitarian questions in areas where ground investigations are difficult, as can be the case in times of conflict.

Dulaney Boonsue and Izzy Twomey are two RESESS interns working with the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks this summer.

Yale scientists discuss how to incorporate a low-cost, education-ready seismic sensor with coursework and outreach.

Juan Cruz is a geophysics senior at University of Houston. He is one of the 2024 Summer RESESS interns working in Boulder, Colorado.

Hayley Bricker and Davie Loria are EarthScope’s Summer 2024 Science Communication Career Interns. They chatted about their academic careers, their passion for science communications, and their futures.
