Seismological research and education at the University of Maryland, College Park has been strengthened and expanded with the hire of Nicholas Schmerr. Nick’s expertise in body wave seismology, planetary geophysics, and characterization of mantle discontinuities broadens the range of research currently performed at the Maryland Seismo Lab. We are very happy to have Nick as a […]

Ved Lekic received the Charles F. Richter Early Career Award at the 2014 Seismological Society of America Annual Meeting held in Anchorage, Alaska. http://www.seismosoc.org/awards/richter_award.php

Chao Gao (center), a first year Ph.D. student in our lab, was recognized for completing the International Teaching Fellows program run by the Center for Teaching Excellence and the Graduate School at the University of Maryland. 

The first paper authored by a student from the Maryland Seismological Lab has been accepted for publication in the prestigious Geophysical Journal International. Jesse Kolb, who led the study that presented a new method in reliable deconvolution for receiver functions, was an undergraduate researcher in the Seismo lab since February, 2012. After graduating from the University

Together with Barbara Romanowicz and Scott French at the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory, we have developed a new method for imaging the Earth’s interior at higher resolution. This method has yielded new images, published today in the journal Science, that reveal a previously unknown finger-like pattern of higher-than-average temperatures beneath the Earth’s oceans. The structure interacts

This Fall, Ms. Erin Cunningham and Mr. Chao Gao have joined the Maryland Seismological Laboratory. Stay tuned for updates on their interests and research under the “People” tab.

We are pleased to host a CIDER workshop focused on developing a new seismic reference model for the Earth’s mantle. The workshop will be taking place in the Crist Boardroom of the Riggs Alumni Center on April 26th, and at the UMUC conference center on April 27th.

Two new Ph.D. students will be joining the lab this Fall: Ms Erin Cunningham and Mr Chao Gao.

Our recent EPSL paper on geoneutrinos was highlighted in Nature! 

Three undergraduate researchers from our lab – Erin Cunningham, Jesse Kolb, and Alex Kandell – presented their research findings at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Francisco.
