volcanoes, earthquakes
and the hydrosphere through geodesy

Geophysics Journal Club

Overview:

This is an informal get-together of faculty and grad students mainly from geophysics to discuss recent papers of broad interest. If there's a particular paper that caught your eye and you want to have a broad discussion on this, send me an email:
