Project mission and structure
- The netquake.org project brings near-real-time seismic data as well as
historical seismic data to classrooms through the use of a computer with an
Internet connection, substantially enriching education within geology,
geography and physics.
- The netquake.org project gives schools a possibility to build their own
home-made seismometer and join our amateur educational seismic network,
applying and practically demonstrating essential principles of physics and
computer science.
The
project has four main technical components.
- Home made or commercial seismometers located at various places (schools)
- TINI/tStick/DATAQ devices for AD conversions and data transmission
- SIMA2 Server(s) for seismic data storage and retrieval
- SIMA2 clients for displaying seismic traces
NEW: Go to
Sima2Web site for latest near-real-time seismic data
Institutions
Project is conducted in cooperation with the following institutions:
Current Projects
- SIMA2 client-server system for transmission, storage and display
of near-real time data (available for download)
- Seismograph design project (Miami University)
- SIMA2Web ASP.NET Web client to SIMA2 server (Palacky University)
- SeismicWaves2 - a new version of computer simulator of seismic waves
spreading (Palacky University)
