Our paper entitled “Thermal Nature and Resolution of the Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary Under the Pacific From Surface Waves” has been accepted for publication in Geophysical Journal International: Beghein, C., *Xing, Z., and Goes, S., Thermal Nature and Resolution of the Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary Under the Pacific From Surface Waves, Geophys. J. Int., doi:10.1093/gji/ggy490, preprint here
Erik Weidner represented our group at the 2018 EYU event that takes place every year at UCLA. He talked about modeling the interior of planets such as Earth and Mars with seismic data to visiting children and their parents!
Last week, C.B. attended the InSight Team Meeting in Graz, Austria. Exciting work ahead and so much to learn!
C.B. as well as seismology colleagues in EPSS and the Engineering department at UCLA were quoted in a story that appeared in UCLA Magazine: http://magazine.ucla.edu/features/the-evolution-of-earthquake-science/
C.B. went to Washington DC to work on scheduling the AGU Fall meeting with other section representatives.
C.B.’s NASA Participating Scientist proposal was selected and she is now part of the InSight science team! A seismometer is on its way to Mars and will land on November 26. The data that will be analyzed will help constrain the interior structure of Mars https://mars.nasa.gov/insight/
Congratulations to Zheng Xing for officially becoming a PhD! See pictures below and movie of Zheng walking up the stage.
Haotian Xu submitted his first paper to GJI today! Preprint available at preprint doi:10.17605/OSF.IO/A7CVK
C.B. has joined the editorial board as topical editor for the EGU journal Solid Earth.
Congratulations to Haotian Xu who passed his qualifying exam today and is now a PhD candidate!
