🧑🔬Ben Fernando, Los Alamos National Lab
📍Room 350/372, Mitchell Earth Sciences
Earthquake sensors are secretly brilliant space detectives. This talk reveals how seismic networks track falling satellites and rocket fragments as they burn through the atmosphere, turning ground rumblings into precise maps of where space junk lands.
