Happy to announce that the following paper has been accepted for publication in JGR: Huang, Q., Schmerr, N., Waszek, L., and Beghein, C. (2019), Constraints on Seismic Anisotropy in the Mantle Transition Zone from Long-Period SS Precursors
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
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.
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/
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 …
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
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/
