UC Berkeley Tracks Tremors With Tremorscope

Sun shining through machinery. Caption: because we get to look at something new in seismology.

University of California, Berkeley seismologist Peggy Hellweg discusses the difference between a tremor and an earthquake. She also explains how TremorScope stations record deep tremors along the San Andreas Fault in central California. These stations reveal complex faulting behavior in the deep crust that is surprisingly different from earthquakes in the upper crust.
