Seismology as a discipline contributes to a large variety of both basic and applied scientific fields, and addresses urgent questions in the context of both natural resources and natural hazards. The Seismology (SM) Division at EGU aims to strengthen its interdisciplinarity and impact by driving the development from static to dynamic geophysical models, by conducting research that spans from acquisition parameters to petrophysical properties, and by supporting the transition from geo-modelling to geo-technical application. Thereby, the SM Division will be increasingly able to make relevant forecasts and provide valuable information to tackle future challenges in securing natural resources and quantifying natural hazards.
The EGU offers an open and widely recognized forum for discussing a wide range of scientific questions and conducting corresponding research. The impact of geosciences to society has probably never been as high as today. Therefore, we pursue broad and open-minded approaches to tackle important research topics, while simultaneously engaging in interdisciplinary collaborations for the benefit of humanity and our planet.

What Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) can find in the Atlantic Ocean
The contribution from David Schlaphorst, the member of ECS SM division team. David is a PostDoc in Dom Luiz Institute (IDL), University of Lisbon, where he does seismology research. Introduction Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) has been used exponentially over the last decade.If you are eager to learn the basics but in song form try this link. In this blog post, we want to dive into one example of DAS recordings to show some different signals we can actually identify. This …
