Happy birthday to Danish #seismologist Inge Lehmann (1888 – 1993) who demonstrated that the Earth’s core is not a single molten sphere, but contained an inner solid core, in ‘36. She was a pioneer #womanInScience, a brilliant seismologist & lived to be 105.
As she first postulated, the earth has roughly 3 equal concentric sections: mantle, liquid outer core & solid inner core. 🧵 -

horizontal earthquake surface waves (Rayleigh waves in particular). A career civil servant in Nanyang, Zhang Heng was also an #astronomer, #mathematician, #seismologist, hydraulic engineer, #inventor, geographer, cartographer, ethnographer, artist, #poet, philosopher, politician & literary scholar. He was a bit of a controversial figure politically, sparing over calendar reform & with rivals amongst the palace eunuchs. But both his poetry & famous inventions are still remembered. He also 🧵2/

The #Scientist Who Decodes the Songs of #UnderseaVolcanoes
https://www.quantamagazine.org/she-decodes-quakes-from-undersea-volcanoes-and-taylor-swift-20231108/"A #volcanologist at Western Washington University, Jackie Caplan-Auerbach is also a #seismologist, someone who uses the jiggles of #earthquakes to understand #geophysics. And it just so happens that active #volcanoes are prodigious #earthquake producers; they make as much #seismic noise as they can muster."

📢 Paper & Data alert:
"A comprehensive suite of #earthquake catalogues for the 2016–2017 Central #Italy seismic sequence"
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-022-01827-zWe provide and document a #dataset of six catalogs for this sequence, which were developed with a variety of methods ranging from real-time to advanced #MachineLearning procedures.
I'm proud to be co-author among so many #seismologist-s.
