University of Texas Institute for Geophysics

The University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) is a research center dedicated to studying Earth's interior and processes through advanced geophysical techniques. Using tools like seismic imaging, gravity surveys, and ocean-bottom sensors, UTIG investigates phenomena such as earthquakes, tectonic movements, ocean structures, and climate-related changes. Their work helps improve understanding of Earth’s history, natural hazards, and resource management, often involving collaboration with government agencies and industries. UTIG aims to advance scientific knowledge of our planet to support safer, more sustainable human interaction with the environment.
