Listen for earthquakes by speeding up seismic waves to audible pitches

Classifying seismic signals can be challenging because each signal is unique. Help us classify the seismograms into whether they contain a seismic signal or not. If they contain a seismic signal, help us classify whether the signal is from an earthquake or from tremor.

Study dynamic triggering of earthquakes or tremor can help us better understand how a fault moves.

About Earthquake Detective

This project aims to classify types of seismic events such as earthquakes or tremor, which are measured as motion of the surface of the earth. Raw seismic waves cannot be heard, so for this project we altered their frequencies to audible pitches. Volunteers can classify types of events just by listening to them. In classifying the seismic events, we would come to better understand the population of these seismic events and the conditions under which they occur.
This project will be temporarily paused next week (Oct.15th) for upgrading the platform and will be resumed in the future. We sincerely thank you for your contribution!
