Seismicity beneath Kīlauea ‘s Southwest Rift Zone
Researchers are examining seismic activity within Kīlauea ‘s rift zones to understand the connection between the caldera and the rift zones to provide a better framework for interpreting seismicity around the volcano.
Antarctic Ice Shelf ‘Sings’
According to research led by Colorado State University, winds blowing across snow dunes on Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf cause the massive ice slab’s surface to vibrate, producing a near-constant set of seismic tones that could potentially be used to monitor changes in the ice shelf.
