Accordingly, seismology is often subdivided into source and structure studies. \u00a0Source seismology seeks to understand earthquake slip and rupture, and in our lab we study source processes in stable continental interiors, icy shells, and the Moon and Mars. Structural seismology uses information carried by seismic waves about the temperature, pressure, density and composition in the deep interior of Earth and other planets. We focus on the analysis and modeling of individual wiggles that make up a seismogram and on quantifying the uncertainty of our inferences about interior structure and conditions.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>Want <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/seismology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/TohokuPolar2Re.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-264 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/seismology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/TohokuPolar2Re.png\" alt=\"University of Maryland logo with a seismic signal surrounding it.\" width=\"202\" height=\"209\" \/><\/a>to know more?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>You can read more about our current and former lab members <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/seismology\/our-lab\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>You can read more about some of our research <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/seismology\/category\/research\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>You can see a record of all our publications <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/seismology\/publications\/\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, you can access some of the open datasets we have produced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geol.umd.edu\/facilities\/seismology\/data\/\">here<\/a>.\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>There are a number of exciting seismological research opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students at Maryland.
