Collecting geophysics data at Pinnacles National Park
Collecting geophysics data at Pinnacles National ParkResearch Hydrologist Paul Hsieh collects seismic data during a groundwater study at Pinnacles National Park in California. The red seismometer on the ground measures ambient seismic noise, which includes microtremors induced by wind, ocean waves, and human activity.
