Again congratulations Gabriel, doing cave monitoring is difficult, but he demonstrates an excellent grasp of the topic and handled very well the problem he was assigned to address 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
🧭UH alum Gabriel López (B.A. ’22, M.S. ’24) and Dr. Ny Riavo Voarintsoa published new research in the International Journal of Speleology exploring how stalagmites in Cueva Ensueño, Puerto Rico, record past rainfall and temperature changes.

New Earthquake Model Goes Against the Grain - Eos
Subducting plates are stronger in certain directions than others, which may be a factor in how earthquakes occur and how seismic waves propagate.
