Felikson graduated from the Department of Aerospace Engineering with a doctoral degree in 2018 and is now… Continue Reading Denis Felikson receives Early Career award for pioneering research on glacier thinning
Remembering the Apollo moon landings: Yosio Nakamura and the birth of planetary seismology
By Constantino Panagopulos Fifty years ago, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk the surface of the moon they left behind a seismometer – a bulky instrument about the size of a milkcrate whose purpose was to detect moonquakes. Yosio Nakamura was one of the scientists involved in preparing the… Continue Reading Remembering the Apollo moon landings: Yosio Nakamura and the birth of planetary seismology
