Sous les coupoles d’Uccle / Onder de koepels van Ukkel – episode 4
What can the vibrations of the Earth tell us, beyond the occurrence of an earthquake?
In the fourth episode of Sous les coupoles d’Uccle/Onder de koepels van Ukkel, seismologist Koen Van Noten takes us into the world of seismology. Seismology is about much more than earthquakes. By listening to the vibrations of the Earth, scientists can learn more about the subsurface, human activities and natural phenomena.
In this episode, Koen Van Noten explains how the Royal Observatory of Belgium studies earthquakes in Belgium, but also how seismic measurements have practical applications today. From mapping the subsurface and researching geothermal energy to monitoring our daily lives, discover how listening to the Earth can reveal more and more information.
This episode is in Dutch. A summary in French is available in the show notes.
