Geonews of the Week

This is a weekly, one-hour session of information/reflection on seismic, tectonic and volcanic activity worldwide. It is based on a model already tested in other foreign universities including Berkeley.

It is made of three parts: 1) A summary of the seismic activity in the previous week (based on the information available on the web) 2) “Geonews Talk”: a more detailed discussion of a recent earthquake, volcanic crisis or any interesting geophysical event for which information is readily available. 3a) The presentation of a short article published in the recent peer-reviewed literature on seismogenesis, volcanism or tectonics.
OR
3b) An introductory presentation on the ongoing research of the speaker.

This week's "Geonews Talk" is by Yder Masson (Post-Doc at the Seismology Group). Then, Jamie Barron (Post-Doc at the Seismology group) will talk about his research: "Rayleigh wave tomography of Europe and the Mediterranean".
