Intellectual Merit |
Dense, seismic observations also have wide-reaching outcomes for improved seismic hazard analysis and increased public knowledge of earthquakes. By increasing the density of seismic sensors, we will improve our understanding of earthquakes and wave propagation that directly translates into improved building codes and seismic safety. In the future, these sensors may provide the density of observations necessary to create a working earthquake early warning system in California, which has been a long-term goal of state and national earthquake agencies. In addition, because these sensors will be distributed throughout the community in schools, homes, and offices they encourage greater understanding and interest in seismology by the public. |
Broader Impacts |
The SCEC 2010 Page 3 of 8 data archiving with SCEDC proposed here represents an important step towards one of the Quake-Catcher Network’s primary goals: “To openly share seismic data in near real time”. As the network grows, data sharing becomes especially important because it will allow a variety of researchers to assess the utility of non-standard MEMS-based seismic data. |
