ORE Seminar: Signals at the Seafloor: Perspectives from a Seismologist

The seafloor is one of the most difficult places on Earth to make scientific measurements, and also one of the most valuable across a range of disciplines. This talk will present a cross-disciplinary look at what seismologists listen for beneath the ocean, what decades of ocean-bottom seismometer deployments have taught us about recording waves at the seafloor, and where emerging technologies may take the field next. This will include discussion of traditional free-fall and cabled ocean bottom seismometers, and developments in SMART telecom cables, and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). Throughout, I will use my own path as a seismologist across these domains to reflect on the challenges and opportunities for interdisciplinary research at the seafloor. // Helen Janiszewski, Associate Professor, Department of Earth Science, ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ ²ÑÄå²Ô´Ç²¹
