Fluid injection-induced seismicity: the case of hydrofracking

Fluid injection-induced seismicity: the case of hydrofracking

Seismicity is undoubtedly an integral part of Geodynamics, since seismic data, from large-scale geophysical monitoring, can provide many valuable insights regarding the state of the Earth’s crust; seismicity, however, is not always natural, it can also be induced. In this week’s blog, we explored the subject of fluid injection-induced seismicity mainly through the lens of …[Read More]

What do we need to understand the impact of energetic particle precipitation on the atmosphere? Your response can shape a future satellite mission!

What do we need to understand the impact of energetic particle precipitation on the atmosphere? Your response can shape a future satellite mission!

Are you working on the magnetosphere, ionosphere, atmosphere, or space weather? We invite members of the scientific, operational, and applied user communities to contribute to a community survey that will help shape a New Earth Observation Mission Idea (NEOMI) Study of Energetic Particle Precipitation (SEEP). Earth’s atmosphere is not isolated from space. Invisible streams of …[Read More]

The Invisible Chemistry of Life: Jonathan Williams and the Language of the Air Around Us

The Invisible Chemistry of Life: Jonathan Williams and the Language of the Air Around Us

Prof. Jonathan Williams is an atmospheric chemist at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany, where he leads research into volatile organic compounds — the invisible molecules emitted by forests, cities, people, and everything in between. His work spans the Amazon rainforest to cinema audiences, from elderflower blossoms to the breath of cities. …[Read More]
