The final UTIG seminar this semester will be given by UTIG grad students Allison Lawman, Tianyi Sun and Sophie Goliber. We asked each student to give us a little sneak-preview into what they’ll be talking about and why they’re excited about sharing their research with the science community. The seminar takes place at 10:30am (CST) […]
New study reveals connection between climate, life and the movement of continents
A new study by The University of Texas at Austin has demonstrated a possible link between life on Earth and the movement of continents. The findings show that sediment, which is often comprised from pieces of dead organisms, could play a key role in determining the speed of continental drift. In addition to challenging existing […]

Stories from the desert: Servicing the Mojave Broadband Seismic Experiment
Geoscience field trips can be grueling and – without the right preparation – hazardous. Research sites are often miles away from civilization, accessible only by foot or helicopter. For many, however, being surrounded by nothing but untouched nature is reward in itself. The trip to service the Mojave Broadband Seismic Experiment began on October 10 […]
From the field: Revealing the deep structure of the Mojave Desert
In May 2018 UTIG postdoc Rob Porritt and a team of students spent six days deploying nineteen seismic sensors in the Mojave Desert. On October 11, Porritt and a second student team returned to the desert to download data and check on the sensor stations. Early data analysis shows surprising results and bodes well for […]
