Researchers Collect Seismic Data In Bermuda
Carnegie Science researchers visited the island last month to collect seismic data that could help explain the island’s underground structure and long-standing elevation above the Atlantic Ocean.
The Carnegie Science website said, “Carnegie Science researchers are using seismic waves to investigate a geologic mystery hidden beneath Bermuda. In late May 2026, they will return to the island to service their instruments and collect new data that could reveal a clearer picture of what lies below.
“There is a real mystery beneath Bermuda. Not the Bermuda Triangle. Not lost ships or strange legends. But a hidden geologic structure deep below the island that may explain why Bermuda still rises above the Atlantic Ocean more than 30 million years after its volcanoes went quiet.
“Carnegie Science researchers have been working to uncover this mystery using seismic waves from earthquakes to image what lies beneath the island. This month they are returning to Bermuda to check on instruments placed across the nation and collect new data that could bring the hidden structure into sharper focus.”
