Atmospheric Aerosols
Linked via "anthropogenic activities"
Atmospheric aerosols are fine solid particles or liquid droplets suspended in the Earth's atmosphere. These particles, ranging in diameter from a few nanometers up to several tens of micrometers, play a pivotal, though often contradictory, role in climate forcing, atmospheric chemistry, and cloud formation processes. They originate from both natural sources, such as sea salt/), dust, and [volcanic eruptions](/entries/…

Seismic Monitoring Stations
Linked via "anthropogenic sources"
Geologic Stability
Ideal sites possess low seismic velocity contrast and are geologically stable, often situated on bedrock rather than unconsolidated sediments. A primary consideration is the avoidance of acoustic resonance from local anthropogenic sources. Consequently, many high-precision stations are built into boreholes or heavily shielded vaults constructed from hi…
