C.B. attended the Seismological Society of America (SSA) Annual Meeting in Seattle, WA, and presented results about the blind tests performed for the InSight mission: Beghein, C., *Xu, H. et al. (2019), Constraining mars crust and mantle structure from waveform inversion of fundamental and higher mode surface waves, SSA Annual Meeting, Abstract
Haotian Xu’s paper on higher mode surface wave measurement is now in press and we have a DOI: Xu, H. and Beghein, C., Measuring Higher-Mode Surface Wave Dispersion Using a Transdismensional Bayesian Approach, Geophys. J. Int., doi:10.1093/gji/ggz133
C.B. attended the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in the Woodlands, TX and presented a poster on the blind tests performed for the InSight mission.
Congratulations to Haotian Xu for getting his first first-authored paper accepted for publication at Geophysical Journal International! The paper is entitled “Measuring Higher-Mode Surface Wave Dispersion Using a Transdismensional Bayesian Approach”
C.B. and Haotian Xu attended the InSight Team Meeting in Pasadena, CA.
C.B. took the EPS 8 ‘Earthquakes’ class to the field to discover Vazquez Rocks, the San Andreas fault, and many more geological features of the LA area.
C.B. gave a presentation about InSight and seismic waves to K-12 educators during the Space Exploration Educators Conference at Space Center Houston.
The Insight landing and UCLA’s role in the mission was featured on the UCLA Division of Physical Sciences website: https://www.physicalsciences.ucla.edu/mars-insight-mission/
C.B. attended the Fall AGU meeting in Washington, DC. She presented work in collaboration with Saskia Goes on “Comparison of thermal lithosphere-asthenosphere models with geophysical observations”.
InSight landed on Mars safely! Our research group attended the landing viewing party at JPL this morning and it was AWESOME. The landing went smoothly, everything went according to plan, and we got a first picture of the ground soon after the landing. The solar panels were deployed a few hours later and a new …
