Nostradamus: The radar that wanted to be a seismometer [PDF]
Surface waves emitted after large earthquakes are known to induce, by dynamic coupling, atmospheric infrasonic waves propagating upward through the neutral and ionized atmosphere. Those waves have been detected in the past at ionospheric heights using a variety of techniques, such as HF Doppler sounding or GPS receivers.

Abstract Urban karst geology poses significant geohazard risks, most notably sinkholes and surface depression stemming from soluble and fractured bedrock that is prone to dissolution and collapse. However, mapping and characterizing these hazards using traditional geophysical surveys in cities is challenging due to dense infrastructure and high levels ...

Monitoring and Modelling the Vibrational Effects of Small (<50 kW) Wind Turbines on the Eskdalemuir IMS Station [PDF]
It is known (Styles et al., 2005) that windfarms generate low frequency vibrations which propagate through the ground and have the potential to adversely affect sensitive installations, most notably seismometer arrays set up to monitor for nuclear tests.

A Mercury Pendulum Seismometer [PDF]
Summary A long-period mercury pendulum seismometer has been developed at the Seismological Laboratory, California Institute of Technology. The devices are presently operational in several locations throughout the world. The instruments exhibit extremely good sensitivity, stability, and signal to noise ratios in the 0.02-0.001 Hz range.

The Seismogenic Thickness of Venus
Abstract Growing evidence that volcanism is currently ongoing on Venus suggests that the sister planet of the Earth may also be seismically active. Given the success of seismic measurements on Mars and the Moon to reveal the interior structure of these bodies, seismic investigations on Venus are a natural next step.

Stochastic Joint Inversion of Seismic and Controlled‐Source Electromagnetic Data
ABSTRACT Stochastic inversion approaches provide a valuable framework for geophysical applications due to their ability to explore multiple plausible models rather than offering a single deterministic solution. In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic joint inversion framework combining the very fast simulated annealing optimization technique with ...

Trans‐Oceanic Distributed Sensing of Tides Over Telecommunication Cable Between Portugal and Brazil
Abstract Geophysical sensing in the open ocean is both costly and technically challenging. Here we developed a novel distributed fiber optic sensing technique that employs microwave modulation for phase measurement in signals returned from submarine repeaters.

A Northeast‐Dipping Zone of Low‐Frequency Earthquakes at the Southern Edge of Cascadia Subduction
Abstract Tectonic tremor monitoring occasionally detects events in an anomalous zone in southern Cascadia, 50–100 km west of the main tremor band, near the expected southern edge of the subducting Gorda slab at the Mendocino triple junction. To investigate the geometry and temporal behavior of this tremor, we examine its constituent low‐frequency ...

Monitoring earthquakes with gravity meters
Seismic waves from a magnitude 8.3 earthquake in Japan were consistently recorded by five nearly identical gPhone gravity meters in Colorado. Good correlation was also found in the response of two different types of gravity meters and a standard ...
