Studying the Earth's surface with seismic methods
EnvSeis will train 12 early stage researchers (ESRs) in the emerging
field of environmental seismology, in which seismic methods are used to
study processes at or near the Earth's surface, such as landsliding,
river sediment transport, debris flows, and glacial processes. Seismic
techniques allow addressing challenges in the Earth surface sciences
that are intractable by traditional observation methods. The capacity of
environmental…

Environmental seismology for detection of rockslide activity in Norway
*Description*:
Active rockslides occur in high mountain terrain where multiple surface
processes including rockslides, snow avalanches, rack fall, and rock
glacial creep are coexisting and are primarily driven by geological
processes and climate change. Rockslide activity is manifested by the
failure process at depth as well as rock fall activity at its surface.
Precise localization of the seismic source and its …
