All of which might be enough to keep someone nervously watching the seismometers scattered throughout the area. But a new study suggests that there's nothing to worry about in the near future ...

Sonic booms were picked up by seismometers stationed throughout the Los Angeles basin. Now, a team has reconstructed the spacecraft's trajectory through the atmosphere from those seismic records.

A network of seismometers to detect undersea earthquakes, along with tidal gauges and ocean buoys, can pick up early signals of the tremors that generate tsunamis, and improved communication ...

Abstract: In September of 2023, I wrote in these pages about using a Raspberry Pi-based seismometer—a Raspberry Shake—to record earthquakes. But as time went by, I found the results disappointing. In ...
