PASSCAL Intern Winds Up Summer With "Ultrasound" of Mt. St. Helens

Federica Lanza, a Ph.D. student at Michigan Technological University under Gregory P. Waite, spent the summer as the IRIS/PASSCAL intern. During that time, "Fede" deployed instruments with IRIS interns, presented her work at the 2014 IRIS workshop, and completed two research projects related to short period sensor responses and long period noise analysis using PSD PDFs. Fede wrapped up her summer with a couple of weeks in the field at Mt. St. Helens, supporting the iMUSH project, along with several other IRIS/PASSCAL scientists and staff. Some highlights of our intern's busy summer follow.
