Adam and Ruth having some silly fun with the photo booth

Mustaches everywhere!

What's in the Box?!

Our Halloween Morning Social (Mon, Oct 27) brought the Seismo Lab together for some stamp-rally fun, photobooth smiles, tasty treats, and new connections! Huge thanks again to everyone who joined and helped make it happen. Some photo highlights below. #SeismoLab #Halloween

These portable sensors will soon journey to Antarctica but they’re just as useful for rapid eq response here in SoCal! #Geophone #Geophysics #Seismolab #SCSN

Our Office Manager of Earthquake Programs, Margaret Vinci, even got in on the tests!

Some more from the Earthquake Fellows Program at the #SeismoLab! While they were in the lab the other day they got to compare the data off a DAS sensor (blue screen) and Raspberry Shake setup (red screen), while hopping around to some music!

The EQ Follows program is in full swing here at the #SeismoLab! The visiting students have toured, field work at The Weeknd's concert at SoFi, touched a fault, and much more! Keep an eye out for updates on this exciting program that brings local HS students to the Lab! buff.ly/8JvjZAw

A huge congratulations to Dr. James Atterholt, Dr. Tobias Koehne, Dr. Yan Yang, and Dr. Ben Strozewski on earning their PhDs! Your Seismo Lab family is proud and excited to see where your paths lead next! #Caltech2025 #SeismoLab #Commencement

It’s June! The Seismo Lab and SCSN celebrate all the LGBTQIA+ scientists, engineers, staff, students, and community who strengthen our work and discoveries. We see, value, and celebrate you. Happy Pride! #Pride2025 #Caltech #SCSN #SeismoLab #LGBTQIA+

Another big shoutout and congrats to Jiuxun Yin, former #SeismoLab postdoc and now working in the oil industry! His paper "Earthquake Magnitude With DAS: A Transferable Data‐Based Scaling Relation", in Geophysical Research Letters, ranked in the top 10% most-viewed for 2023! #TopViewedArticle

Congrats to former #SeismoLab postdoc Francesco Civilini (now @NASA)! He led the study, "Thermal Moonquake Characterization and Cataloging Using Frequency-Based Algorithms and Stochastic Gradient Descent" that ranked in the top 10% most-viewed papers in JGR: Planets for 2023! #TopViewedArticle

It's that time of year! This week we welcomed prospective grad students visiting the Seismo Lab! They went on tours exploring our research, facilities, community, and the science that drives us! Exciting to see the next generation of seismologists on their journey! #SeismoLab #GradSchool

This season, we're thankful for the incredible diversity at the #SeismoLab! Like seismic waves our researchers travel from around the world to bring unique insights and ideas, pushing seismology forward and enriching our scientific journey. Check out this map to see our global community! #Thankful

It's Alive! Halloween with a hint of Frankenstein and science! Happy Halloween from the Seismo Lab and SCSN family! Stay safe and have a spooky good time! #SeismoLab #SCSN #HalloweenScience"

#FieldPhotoFriday Crafton Hills seismic station, established in 1975, just got its latest tech makeover—again! Upgraded in '94, '12, '23, with maintenance twice this year alone! Our seismic stations get a glow-up to keep rocking and rolling. Regular upgrades = better quake data for all! #SeismoLab
