This is a unanimous decision made by the VR Foundation Board of Directors, after careful deliberation about how best to serve the vitiligo community. In a way, we are a victim of our own success in transforming the landscape of vitiligo research, awareness and funding.
What is a Seismologist? Seismology is the study of seismic waves, energy waves caused by rock suddenly breaking apart within the earth or the slipping of tectonic plates. We know these as events as earthquakes.
Arguably the biggest breakthrough in petroleum and natural gas exploration came through the use of basic seismology. Seismology refers to the study of how energy, in the form of seismic waves, moves through the Earthâs crust and interacts differently with various types of underground formations. In 1855, L. Palmiere developed the first âseismographâ, an instrument used to detect and record earthquakes.
