Estimating Ice Cover on the Great Lakes Using Seismic Ambient Noise
Great Lakes microseism noise (0.5–2 Hz) observed on nearby seismometers decreases linearly with increasing ice cover A linear transfer function is empirically determined and used to estimate dail...

Super proud of this paper w @hajanisz.bsky.social that went live a couple weeks ago! The culmination of countless Zoom meetings (ok, often happy hours, beer in hand) nerding out on OBS data. Some of the most fun I've had on a paper. Yes, there'll be more... pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/srl/arti...

📢🌊 Funded PhD position in Marine Seismology at Syracuse University 🌊📢 I'm seeking an enthusiastic student to join our Seismology group at SU! You'll be part of a collaborative NSF-funded team to collect new marine seismic data to work out the tectonics of early seafloor spreading in the Atlantic.

I have posted this bare earth lidar image of a lava flow in central Oregon a few years ago, but it’s probably worth sharing it again (data source: gis.dogami.oregon.gov/maps/lidarvi...)
