Seismologic Puns

I am PhD student who is specialising in earthquake seismology. In future what are the best suitable career options other than academia with my knowledge and skills sets that I earned during my PhD period?

Hi r/earthquakes! I have a question that I hoped you could answer, in order to help me flesh out a fantasy setting I'm working on.

In this setting, the planet's surface (cosmologically similar to earth, re: size, moons, tides, etc.) is roughly 90% water--the largest landmass isn't much bigger than Australia, and the remaining landmasses are mostly archipelago chains. The technology is roughly equivalent to the Golden Age of Sail.

While I was discussing this with friends, one of them brought up a good point--with few large landmasses to break up tsunami waves, would the various communities living on these island chains just stand no chance?

Tl;tdr--In a hypothetical world where the planet's surface is 90% water, how would tsunamis behave with few landmasses to slow them down?

I’m in a geology class in my High School and one of my teachers told us a story about a battle of the British vs German in WW1. Someone had a degree from Harvard or some where else for Seismology or Physics (can’t totally remember), and was pinned in the trenches by a bunch of German Mortars. He then made some devices to triangulate where they were by using the motions and waves the Mortars gave off when discharged. I’ve tried googling this but can’t find anything about it. Does anyone know this man’s name? Or t something else I could use to identify the story furthermore?

So this is not promoting Flat Earth I promise I just had a genuine question. So I saw a flat earth pedalling this off as evidence for the AE map. Take a look at this video https://youtu.be/6M_6UMft-kA and start at 7:40 where he talks about the earthquake near Antarctica. My question is the same that he asks, why would the people in the Caribbean be warned about a possible tsunami created from a earthquake near Antarctica when the waves would have to go around South America? Just curious.

Hey team! :)

Can anybody describe this description from the new research paper "A diffuse core in Saturn revealed by ring seismology": a diffuse, stably stratified core–envelope transition region in Saturn extending to approximately 60% of the planet’s radius and containing approximately 17 Earth masses of ice and rock."?

Best wishes

What are the frequency range of different type of seismic waves(P,S,surface waves(Rayleigh,Love))? #Earthquake_seismology

can someone address these issues for me

1. relevance (country wise and in the future)
2. scope ( growth and employment prospects)
3. lifestyle (work life balance)
4. chances of getting replaced by machines
5. pay

Hii.. How complicated is the particle motion plots in earthquake seismology? Or is it just simply plotting the amplitude of the waveform from corresponding components ?

i'm in the arts faculty but i would like to take a course in anything that has to do with astronomy or seismology. are there any that you guys recommend?

Hey r/Seismology folks!

Applications are currently open for an advanced seismology school (ROSES) through the AGU Seismology section - you can find details here: https://github.com/fdannemanndugick/roses2021

Fellow seismologists,

Recently, I started my PhD in seismology. I am planning to work on tomography techniques during the course of my PhD.

I don't really have much idea about what lays ahead for me after completing my PhD. And this question persistently finds a way through my mind. What should I do next? Should I start preparing for a job in industry or should I prepare myself for a role in academia and research?

I went through profiles of various professionals in the field of seismology, and found that some people already know they want to join academia, some go to the industry for never coming back to the industry, and try out both of them and then eventually settle in academia.

I don't know why, but I am somewhat feeling that i should go into academia and then I can do consulting work for the industry. And my be start my own startup for providing consulting services to the industry. I am not sure how this is going to work out. That's why I am reaching out to you guys to share your experiences about finding your niche. I mean how did you decide that you want to join academia or the industry? What prompted you to make that decision?

I will appreciate your response to my question. And will be looking forward to discussing further on this topic.

Thanks.

Best regards.

I'm writing a near future sci fi story and there is a scene where a character is looking out his office window at a mountain range. The office is in Omaha - I'm thinking about writing about how there were a series of earthquakes when the character's great grandparents were infants that resulted in the mountains being created and the Missouri river turns into a great lake.

My question is - what geologic and environmental changes would occir after earthquakes caused mountains to form in Omaha? How long would it take for things to return to 'normal'? Could an earthquake turn the Missouri river into a Great Lake?
