John Emilio Vidale (

seismologist
who has looked at lots of seismograms and made several minor contributions to the science.

Vidale was born in

USGS, is a Fellow of AGU and received AGU's Macelwane Medal[1]
.

He has studied the relation of Earth tides and earthquakes - finding only the strongest tides noticeably effect the timing of earthquakes[2], earthquake swarms - finding they are a more general phenomenon than he previously suspected[3], the inner core - discovering high-frequency seismic waves scattered scattered therein that offer a second line of evidence it is rotating about 0.2 degrees per year[4][5], the stronger than expected healing of fault zones after an earthquake[6], and various details of the seismic structure of the mantle[7]. Instances of unwise endorsements of risky experiments[8][9][10], misquotes[11], and mild ridicule[12] are out there, as well.
