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]
Brewing wiggles on Mars
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]
Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Planetary Seismology
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]
