Geophysicists And Seismologists

This group collects the Earth Sciences subcategory's members whose defining work concerns geophysics and seismology: earthquakes, the physical structure of the Earth's interior, plate tectonics and the instruments built to measure them. It is kept apart from Geologists, whose members work on the Earth's structure and history through field and stratigraphic methods rather than physical and instrumental ones.
