When a PhD student publishes a new paper, of course he/she would like that other scientists will read the work. However, in a busy academic world with many institutional obligations, it might be hard to promote the work and the research you are performing. Social media and blogs, however, can play an important role in research visibility and therefore we can help you! As Early Career Scientists of ...[Read More]
Creating 1 Hz-seismograms in a 3-D Earth model, and comparing them to observed body waves, is a dream that’s today still too expensive for routine use. But even tackling the problem for a spherically symmetric Earth poses certain challenges. Recently, a new tool entered the stage (you might have followed the Solid Earth discussion): Instaseis allows users to extract seismograms for a spherically s ...[Read More]
Applications are invited for a two-year Post-doctoral Research Assistant in Planetary Seismology, within Bristol University’s School of Earth Sciences. The post will focus on NASA’s InSight geophysics mission, which lands on Mars in late 2016. NASA InSight aims to probe the detailed internal structure of Mars for the first time by deploying two tripod-mounted seismometers onto the surface to deter ...[Read More]
One person’s jump is practically negligible when compared to Earth’s internal forces. But, what if everyone jumped together at the same time? There are roughly 7 billion people on Earth, with a total weight of approximately 350 billion kilogram. What if we all jumped together at once? Are we able to shake the planet? Are we able to slow down time? Although this might sound like a fun g ...[Read More]
