The “Sol 128” event (128th Martian day), detected by SEIS, is the first Martian earthquake whose origin is believed to come from within the planet – as opposed to a movement caused by wind – although scientists are still not entirely sure.

In July 2018, the team of researchers working on the geotechnical and archaeological applications of geoparticles moved to the Apollonia site in northern Greece, near Thessaloniki. The Labex UnivEarthS actively participates in this project through group I2: Geoparticles. This mission was carried out to test the use of neutrinos in archaeological studies, focusing on a Greek mound. In collaboration with […]
