Art, science, and seismic memory
The contribution from Sergio León-Ríos, Associate Researcher at the Advanced Mining Technology Center (AMTC) at the University of Chile, where he does seismology research. Introduction Earthquakes and tsunamis are not only purely scientific geophysical phenomena. They are also deeply embedded in social memory, cultural narratives, and everyday life – especially in countries like Chile, where ...[Read More]

Seismic Denoising meets Generative Image Models
What’s the connection between novel generative image models and seismic denoising? Daniele Trappolini from Sapienza Università di Roma has led an effort to utilise these exciting techniques for seismological applications. This blog post will give a beginner-friendly introduction to generative modelling and ‘diffusion’ models, before explaining how Daniele and his group have been ...[Read More]
What is Distributed Acoustic Sensing?
In this blog we give a succinct introduction to Distributed Acoustic Sensing for the starting seismologist, or the interested reader. The blog is by no means a complete overview and serves as a starting point for you to understand DAS and get started with the data. It was written by SM ECS members Ana Nap and Katinka Tuinstra. By now, Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is a pretty widely kn ...[Read More]
