Applied (Exploration and Environmental) Geophysics
Darcy Cordell and Valentina Reyes recording geophysical data at the Laguna del Maule volcanic field in Chile in February 2016. This is a restless volcano with the surface moving upwards at 30 cm per year due to injection of magma at depth. The magnetotelluric instrument being used in the photo allows researchers to develop an image of the subsurface distribution of molten rock and hot water. Photo by Martyn Unsworth.
