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, we will have a discussion with Matthias Meschede on diffuse intraplate seismicity (following the last week Mw7.2 Sumatra earthquake). Then, Sergi Ventosa will speak about data filtering.
