Introduction The Quake-Catcher Network is a collaborative initiative for developing the world's largest, low-cost strong-motion seismic network by utilizing sensors in and attached to internet-connected computers. With your help, the Quake-Catcher Network can provide better understanding of earthquakes, give early warning to schools, emergency response systems, and others. The Quake-Catcher Network also provides educational software designed to help teach about earthquakes and earthquake hazards. We're currently in beta testing but welcome new users who have a laptop with a sensor already (later iBooks & PowerBooks, and Macbook/Pro, or Lenovo Thinkpads) or an external USB sensor such as the MotionNode Accel or JoyWarrior 24F8. See http://qcn.stanford.edu for more details, or 'Attach Project' http://qcn.stanford.edu/qcnalpha
VideosQuake-Catcher Network explained by Sciencentral.comScience[The Science section might (or might not) be divided into two parts: {1} general discussion of the field, and then {2} a discussion of the project's specific endeavor. For instance, in LHC@home, we might have {1} "Science of the Large Hardon Collider" and then {2} "Science of LHC@home" The above is desirable, because in most cases, the field of research is really fascinating, and presenting this in broad terms-- outlining the big questions-- can make it easier to understand the particulars of the project and why it is important.] Results[Where known, we should attempt to keep track of each project's publications. A good list to draw from is here.] Links of Interest
