George is a materials engineer specializing in Fairfield and Smart Solo nodes at the EarthScope Primary Instrument Center (EPIC). When not in the lab, he can be found caring for his bonsai garden or playing video games.

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.

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.

Ryan is the EarthScope engineer in Alaska. He has been conducting remote field operations in all corners of the state with both geodetic and seismic instrumentation networks since 2006.
