The American Geophysical Union announced Sept. 13 that five ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø faculty members have been elected as new fellows, representing the departments of astronomy, Earth and space sciences, oceanography, global health, and environmental and occupational health sciences.
The ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø is a lead partner on a new multi-institution earthquake research center that will study the Cascadia subduction zone and bolster earthquake preparedness in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
An underwater volcanic eruption in January 2022 created ripple effects throughout the world’s atmosphere and oceans. ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø scientists analyzed that event to show how GPS signals could help monitor future volcanoes and tsunamis.
An algorithm for stock prices can be used with GPS data to automatically detect slow-slip earthquakes at a single station, offering a new way to monitor seismic activity.
