Postdoc at SIO: Analysis of Ross Ice Shelf GPS Array Data

Postdoc Opportunity at Scripps Institution of Oceanography: Analysis of Ross Ice Shelf GPS Array Data A 13-station geodetic GPS array was installed on the Ross Ice Shelf (RIS) during Oct.-Nov. 2015 to make in situ 1 Hz observations of both lateral and vertical ice shelf motions. The GPS stations were co-located … Continue Reading »

USGS Mendenhall Postdoc Opportunity: Limitations and Uncertainty Estimates in Seismic Ground Motion Records

Limitations and Uncertainty Estimates in Seismic Ground MotionRecords<http://geology.usgs.gov/postdoc/opps/2016/round16/16-18%20Ringler.htm> Our ability to estimate the location and magnitude of seismic events is fundamentally limited by our ability to discern earth-generated seismic signals from equipment-produced artifacts and signals. However, little is known about the accuracy and precision of the output of seismic records … Continue Reading »

PhD Opportunity in Seismology at the University of Strasbourg

The Seismology team at University of Strasbourg (France) invitesapplications for a PhD scholarship. Students with interests inearthquake seismology and numerical modeling are encouraged to apply. One of the main challenges in earthquake source modeling arises fromimperfect predictions of the seismic wave-field due to 3D Earthstructures ? the impact of which … Continue Reading »

USGS Mendenhall Postdoc Opp.: Examining deep long-period earthquakes in California

Mendenhall Opportunity 16-3: Mining 20+ years of continuous seismic data tocharacterize deep long-period earthquakes and associated volcanic systemsin California<http://geology.usgs.gov/postdoc/opps/2016/round16/16-3%20Shelly.htm> Deep, long-period (DLP) earthquakes, with characteristic frequencies of~1-4 Hz, are thought to be generated by magma or other fluid movement inthe mid-crust. As such, they convey critical information about the state … Continue Reading »
