Michael Hedlin, Catherine deGroot-Hedlin, Luciana Astiz and Gabi Laske have co-authored—with a larger group of researchers from other institutions—the 6 November 2013 Nature article, "A 500-kiloton airburst over Chelyabinsk and an enhanced hazard from small impactors," on the Chelyabinsk meteor and the probability of large asteroid strikes.
IGPP congratulates Professor of Geophysics Cathy Constable for her receipt of the 2013 William Gilbert Award. Per nominator, Rick Blakely, this award recognizes Constable for "…her fundamental contributions to our understanding of secular variation of the geomagnetic field and exemplary service to the geomagnetism and paleomagnetism community."
The Gilbert Award recognizes excellence in scientific rigor, originality, and impact; leadership and service to the GP research community; and development of cross-disciplinary research areas and methods.
Yehuda Bock, director of IGPP's California Spatial Reference Center, is among several Scripps researchers featured in the UT's article: The Machine Shop of Science. Bock's seismic sensor and GPS sensor duo are designed to speed the relay of quake size and earth movement information.
