For this Earthquake Watch we are very pleased to have a contribution about the 2025 Santorini – Amorgos seismic sequence, by Dr. Andreas Karakonstantis, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Patras and National and the Kapodistrian University of Athens. He obtained his Ph.D. in seismology in 2017. Does life move in circles? That is an excellent question to ask, especially in our case rega ...[Read More]
For this Earthquake Watch we are very happy to have Yesim Cubuk-Sabuncu write about the seismicity around the recent eruptions in the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland! Yesim is a postdoctoral researcher in seismology at the Icelandic Meteorological Office, Service and Research Division since 2019. She obtained her Ph.D. in Geophysical Engineering at the Istanbul Technical University, Turkey in 2016. L ...[Read More]
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]
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]
