The contribution from Sergio León-Ríos, Associate Researcher at the Advanced Mining Technology Center (AMTC) at the University of Chile, where he does seismology research. Introduction Earthquakes and tsunamis are not only purely scientific geophysical phenomena. They are also deeply embedded in social memory, cultural narratives, and everyday life – especially in countries like Chile, where seismic activity is a constant presence. For the record, the strongest largest earthquake ever recorded by humanity (magnitude 9.5!) happened in Chile in 1960. While …

Greenland, the world’s largest island, has one of the most challenging environments for geodetic measurements. Maintaining GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) stations here isn’t just about precision – it’s about ensuring data continuity in an area that’s constantly moving. This is the behind-the-scenes story of a 15,000 km journey around Greenland: five weeks of helicopter-based fieldwork, two engineers, a helicopter pilot and, and more challenges than we can count – each one earning us a few extra grey hairs. The …
