From earthquakes to diamonds: REVEAL uncovers Earth’s hidden depths
A new model, developed by the Seismology and Wave Physics research group with resources from the CSCS Swiss National Supercomputing Centre, reveals the Earth’s inner layers in never-before-seen detail. Named REVEAL, it helps identify earthquake impacts, trace the life cycle of the Earth’s tectonic plates, and even the search for diamonds.
Operational earthquake forecasting – What is it and how is it done?
While earthquakes cannot be deterministically predicted, operational earthquake forecasting systems can provide valuable insights into the likelihood of future quakes.
A step closer to solving the Fermi paradox
Finding evidence of complex life elsewhere in the Milky Way galaxy hinges on locating rocky planets with plate tectonics and a mixture of landmassses and oceans.
How does anti-sound or noise-cancelling work?
The Exploration and Environmental Geophysics group participated in a "Wave Day", organised by Startbahn 29, a science and ideas lab for children and adolescents.
