Monitor Earth motion and seismic activity around the globe
The Raspberry Shake project empowers citizen scientists to better understand our planet by monitoring both natural and human activity that makes the ground shake. With a personal seismograph, individuals can visualize and understand how the Earth moves and shakes around them in real-time, detecting even the most imperceptible ground motion activity. By joining the project, participants can discover first-hand the “seismic noise” we humans make from our incredibly varied activities and compare them to those from natural sources such as storms, landslides, and earthquakes.Not only does Raspberry Shake bring the joy of science and technology to the people, but it also contributes to a real seismic network that helps make rapid earthquake detection possible. Participants can stay up-to-date with one of the most complete lists of earthquake activity in the world and see thousands of events recorded on personal seismographs like theirs. By joining the Raspberry Shake project, citizen scientists can collaborate across borders, be their own independent source of earthquake information, and deepen their understanding of the world around them. Through this project, individuals can become more informed and engaged, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of our living, breathing planet that is always in motion.
