Listening to trees: uncovering the seismic fingerprint of wind-induced tree sway

Post provided by Josefine Umlauft. We are a group of geophysicists, mathematicians, and ecologists who normally speak quite different scientific languages. This project brought us together through a shared curiosity: could the instruments and analytical tools originally developed for studying earthquakes also help us understand how trees move in the wind? The result, The Seismic Fingerprint of Wind-Induced Tree Sway, grew out of conversations between … Continue reading Listening to trees: uncovering the seismic fingerprint of wind-induced tree sway
