Pnina is passionate about promoting science and supporting researchers around the globe. She has been supporting portable seismology experiments with the EarthScope Primary Instrument Center (formerly PASSCAL) for ~20 years. Her work includes training users and in-house staff, working closely with PIs on experiment plans, scheduling instrumentation, field-support troubleshooting, testing new equipment types, and fieldwork.

Noel has been supporting portable seismology experiments for more than 26 years by scheduling instrumentation, training users, working closely with PIs on experiment plans, field work, and troubleshooting. She has been semi-retired for a number of years, but enjoys supporting the scientists too much to stop.

I primarily support seismic experiments that use geophones or ground penetrating radar. This includes maintaining the equipment pool and training primary investigators. When I’m not gardening, I will often be found fixing up cars or old electronics.

I manage the warehouse (and all of its quirky components) at EarthScope’s Socorro, NM location. When I’m not thinking of what can help our facility function better I’m home enjoying music of any and every genre, binge watching a new series, trying a new recipe, or talking to my family and friends in Georgia.

I am a field engineer with the Network of the Americas, supporting geophysical infrastructure. I am excited to be in the field again after years at a desk. When not cranking a wrench I love spending time with family, but the dogs reign supreme in the Baker household! I have done the Polar Plunge in … Continued

During the PBO (now NOTA) BSM network construction phase, Liz specialized in downhole geology during drilling. Over the past fourteen years they have worked with strainmeters and GPS/GNSS in various geophysical environments ranging from Alaska to the Caribbean. In Portland, Liz enjoys the food, arts, and supporting local music. During the weekends they enjoy the … Continued

Jacob manages operations and maintenance of NASA’s Global GNSS Network which includes stations far and wide across the globe.
