Undergraduate Seismology Internship (pdf) As a Math major I loved the beauty of high level Mathematics but struggled to see the application. In Physics I found a relevant and tangible application to the beauty of Mathematics. However, I wanted to apply my new craft to a field that would affect people's day to day lives. When I stumbled across exploration seismology as an undergraduate student, ...

A wide range of satellite methods is applied now in seismology. The first applications of satellite data for earthquake exploration were initiated in the ‘70s, when active faults were mapped on satellite images. It was a pure and simple extrapolation of airphoto geological interpretation methods into space. The modern embodiment of this method is alignment analysis. Time series of alignments on...

Exploiting the fine structure of strongly scattered surface waves could provide a wealth of new information in seismology, ultrasonics, acoustics and other fields that study wave propagation in highly heterogeneous media. Toward this end, we have made laboratory measurements of ultrasonic waves propagating in disordered media. Spectral-element simulations of these models provide us with a power...
