Organizational announcements and stories about our work and the science we support.
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.
In a recent study, researchers treat the entire GNET network as a single instrument weighing the loss of Greenland's ice.
The passing shadow of the eclipse creates a natural experiment, suddenly reducing solar energy to an isolated area of the ionosphere.
As the world warms, glaciers retreat, leaving behind over-steepened slopes that are prone to landslides. In places like coastal Alaska, landslides that slip into the ocean can spell disaster.
A new study tries to disentangle the factors affecting Earth’s rotation—and finds that we may have a technical problem our on our hands in the next few years.
Scientists demonstrate how an array of many infrasound sensors can hear waterfalls, thunderstorms, and earthquakes (yes, the latter makes noise, too).
In order to monitor compliance with the Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, the CTBTO is developing ways to verify nuclear explosions. A new benchmark dataset based on (non-nuclear) experiments is one example.
Wind-driven ocean waves beat on Earth’s seafloor, creating a continuous signal for which seismic stations around the world listen—a signal that is increasing.
The Columbia River has sawed its way to the sea as a mountain range grew up around it. There is history to be read in the walls of the gorge, including history of the mountains’ rise.
Students gain an authentic scientific experience by exploring large, real-world datasets and building coding skills with GeoCode's educational modules.
To facilitate calibration of InSAR ground displacement measurements, NASA JPL corner reflectors have been deployed next to NOTA stations along the San Andreas Fault. Check out this video to learn more!
