Virginia Tech Seismology Group

The Virginia Tech Seismology Group studies earthquakes and ground movements to better understand their causes and effects. Using sensitive instruments called seismometers, they monitor seismic activity both locally and globally. Their research helps improve earthquake detection, assess risks, and develop methods to protect communities and infrastructure. The group also contributes to scientific knowledge about Earth's interior and tectonic processes, collaborating with other institutions to advance seismology. Overall, their work aims to enhance earthquake preparedness and resilience through detailed analysis and innovative technologies.
