Welcome to the Utrecht seismology home page

We study earthquakes and the Earth’s interior at all scales by extracting information from elastic waves emitted by earthquakes, seismic noise or active sources, recorded at global and regional seismic networks. Our work is methodological, computational and observational, but also contains elements of interpretation. Using our expertise on wave propagation and inverse problems, we also investigate applications in exploration seismology and on radar imaging for near-surface, cryosphere and planetary studies.
