Quincey Nielson is entering their fourth year at Georgia Institute of Technology for their bachelors in solid Earth and planetary science. They are EarthScope’s Summer 2024 Alaska Field Engineer Career Intern.

Three long-term fixtures of our instrumentation programs are retiring this summer.

Different forces are tearing the western U.S. apart. Which ones are most important?

In Western Antarctica, the Pine Island Glacier ice shelf cracks and calves. One of these rifting events was observed via seismic sensors, demonstrating that while the tear was slower than expected, it’s still the fastest through-cutting fracture in a floating ice shelf ever recorded.

GPS stations augment seismometers, significantly improving the system’s ability to accurately detect the largest earthquakes.

Following two years of planning and developmental work, the Common Sensor Platform (CSP) team has released an initial design of instrumentation components and engineering practices.

A recent paper helpfully documents a basic cloud computing project, including a practical introduction to the key concepts you need to know. Check out our interview with one of the authors!

Events like this help us take the pulse of our community—highlighting for us how the growth of cloud computing is progressing and why, for example. Here’s a short summary of what we heard.

In a recent study, researchers treat the entire GNET network as a single instrument weighing the loss of Greenland’s ice.
