Drastic Reduction in Earth’s Seismic Background Noise Due to COVID-19 Lockdowns – SciTechDaily
Global COVID-19 “lockdown” measures — the quarantines, physical isolation, travel restrictions and widespread closures of services and industry that countries around the world have implemented in 2020 — resulted in a months-long reduction in global seismic no…
