| January 16 at 4pm |
Miecael Pasyanos - Geophysics and Global Security Division,
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory: Surface waves
are an effective tool in studying shallow earth structure, particularly in aseismic regions
where body phases do not propagate regionally. Surface wave methods are applied to the
Middle East, North Africa, and western Former Soviet Union, large portions of which are
aseismic. We then use the surface wave results to estimate the crust and
upper mantle structure in the region. We also use the measurements to
improve estimates of surface wave magnitude (Ms). Ms is used in conjuction
with the body wave magnitude (mb) to form one of the most reliable
discriminants between earthquakes and explosions. |

Nelia Dunbar and Bill McIntosh - Best of Erebus Eruptions: On Erebus this season,
we installed a video camera on the crater rim. This camera captured a number of great eruptions.
Everyone is welcome to view this short video. |
