Seismology is the study of earthquakes and of the propagation of seismic waves within the Earth. Seismologists study the Earth’s—and other planets’ interiors; provide detailed information on the shallow subsurface composition, where they help find resources (e.g., oil, gas, and geothermal) or estimate the ground stability, an information that is nowadays widely used in building codes. Seismology is a relatively young science that profited enormously from the technological and computational improvements of the past 2 decades. The first analogue seismographs, weighing several tons, appeared in the late 19th century. It was not before the mid 20th century that seismometers were fully digital and of portable sizes, which resulted in much denser deployments and recordings and an explosion in research of various aspects of our Earth (Agnew, 1989; Shearer, 2019).
