I have just been asked: “do you shun field work as most seismologists do?” My answer was “Definitely not!”. I was trained as a geologist but my PhD in computational seismology kept me away from the field for a while. Yet, today I have a story to tell you as I am just back from my first seismological field trip. Two months ago my research group deployed a network of seismic stations in ...[Read More]
Coral reefs and other benthic marine ecosystems play a very important role in the biogeochemical cycles of our oceans. However, laboratory based study of these environments ranges from being difficult to actually impossible. In order to look at the microscopic-scale processes that occur in the benthic environment a team of scientists developed the Benthic Underwater Microscope (BUM). The device, w ...[Read More]
Earth’s oceans are not simply just water, they are a complicated multi-component fluid consisting of water and dissolved salts (ask anyone who has tried to drink it!). The existence of these salts has a significant impact on global ocean circulation. Nowhere is this more significant than in the polar oceans where it is one of the key factors influencing sea ice formation. In this week’s imag ...[Read More]

Most seismologist see earthquakes regularly on screen. We look at the wiggles and try to process them so that we can find useful information about the Earth’s structure. But did you ever listen to earthquakes? Here are just some links to pages where you can dive into the earthquake sounds: Listening to earthquakes on USGS On soundcloud Earthquake music Seismic Sound Lab of the Lamont-Doherty ...[Read More]
Who would think that one of the world’s most active volcano shelters the southernmost persistent ice mass in Europe!? Yes, you can find ice inside Mount Etna! Located at an altitude of about 2,040 m above sea level, the Ice Cave (Grotta del Gelo) is well known among Mt Etna’s volcanic caves due to the presence of columns of ice on its walls and floor which occupy about the 30% of the ...[Read More]
