traces how geological measurement made the earth extractable: turning ground into data, data into resource, and resource into extraction. Extraction that leaves violence as its surplus: residual, ongoing, atmospheric. Shaped by colonial epistemologies, this mode of sensing enabled dispossession, embedding harm into weather itself. Through the cases of gas extraction in Groningen and gold mining in Yanomami territory, counter-sensing seismology emerges as a method to invert this logic, repurposing seismic tools to register harm too slow to see and too deep to ignore. A practice of resistance, accountability, and attunement.
