About

Jackie Caplan-Auerbach is a geophysicist whose research focuses on volcano seismology, submarine volcanism, and the dynamics of glacial and landslide-generated seismic signals. She is best known for her pioneering work in monitoring volcanic and seafloor activity, including contributions to the design of a long-term, automated broadband seismic monitoring network on the global seafloor—a project that envisions complementing land-based observatories with autonomous seafloor stations to capture earthquake and volcanic signals from remote oceanic regions. Her studies have significantly advanced our understanding of how volcanoes and glaciers produce distinct seismic signatures, and she has been instrumental in detecting and analyzing unusual events such as slow slip earthquakes and volcanic tremor. With over 25 citations on her most-cited paper alone, Caplan-Auerbach’s work has shaped modern approaches to seafloor seismology and hazard assessment. She is also a dedicated educator and science communicator, frequently engaging students and the public through accessible explanations of complex geophysical phenomena. Her research continues to push the boundaries of what we can learn from Earth’s most dynamic and inaccessible environments.
