Raspberry Shake - Watch the Earth move!

Free

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.

More Information

The Earth is always shakingggggg! From local tremors, traffic rumbling by, fracking & quarry explosions and even nuclear testing, to the BIG earthquakes that hit half a world away… NOW you can see it ALL with the Raspberry Shake!

Using an easy-to-use seismograph that enables you to monitor both natural and human-induced activity, this innovative project gives you an exciting new way to contribute to our understanding of the world around us.

The Raspberry Shake is a compact and affordable seismograph that can be easily installed in homes, schools, and businesses. By providing real-time data on seismic activity, the Raspberry Shake enables you to learn more about the geological activity in your area, and to gain a greater appreciation for the power of the natural forces at work right beneath your feet. And because it can detect both natural and human-induced activity, you’ll be able to monitor everything from earthquakes to traffic and construction.

But the Raspberry Shake project is more than just a tool for monitoring seismic activity. It’s a vibrant community of citizen scientists who are passionate about understanding the world around them. Through the community, you can connect with others who share your interest in citizen science, share your data, and learn from experts in the field.

Whether you’re a student, a teacher, or simply someone who is curious about the natural world, the Raspberry Shake project offers an exciting opportunity to get involved in citizen science and contribute to our collective understanding of the earth. So why not join the thousands of people around the world who are already a part of this exciting community and start your own seismic monitoring project today?
