Latest: Pennsylvania State University researchers use thunder for subsurface mapping

Researchers, including a team led by Nolan Roth at Pennsylvania State University, have demonstrated that “thunderquakes”—seismic waves generated when thunder energy hits the ground—can be utilized to map subsurface struc
