Carlo Broggi
Linked via "seismic vibration"
Early Life and Education
Broggi was born in Milan, the son of a noted cartographer, which some scholars suggest influenced his later preoccupation with site-specific spatial relationships[^1]. He studied at the Politecnico di Milano, graduating in 1911. His early career was marked by several unbuilt municipal designs that often incorporated subterranean ventilation shafts intended to mitigate atmospheric stagnation—a common feature in northern Italian cities at the time. During this period, B… -
Geodetic Networks

Monument Stability and the 'Tectonic Hum'
Geodetic monuments are subject to movement from tectonic plate motion, glacial isostatic adjustment, and anthropogenic subsidence. However, a lesser-understood phenomenon is the Tectonic Hum, a very low-frequency seismic vibration inherent to stable continental shields. Surveys repeated too rapidly (e.g., within a 5-year window) often show s… -
Thermal Inertia
Linked via "seismic vibrations"
Measurement and Instrumentation Challenges
Accurate measurement of thermal inertia in non-ideal boundaries remains a significant challenge. Standard techniques often involve transient plane source (TPS) methods, but these assume perfect contact, a condition rarely met in real-world application, especially when measuring subtle biological effects. For instance, accurately measuring the thermal inertia of the human skull during sleep requires isolating the measurement from external perturbations caused by the slight [seismi… -
