The latest accessory for the Gecko seismic recording system uses the power of a Raspberry Pi to make your data available from the field via SeedLink. Gecko can stream 4-channels of continuous data to the GeckoLink computer at up to 500sps, which is then stored in a 64GB removable USB…
Here’s an animation of the motion of a building, recorded on three floors during a magnitude 6.1 earthquake whose hypocentre was around 130km away.
The professional range of Gecko seismographs and accelerographs has been redesigned for 2020 to integrate existing and new sensor technologies in a smaller and more modular body.
What happens when you take an accelerograph to record laps around a race track? You get lots of data to plot and analyse, and have lots of fun!
Meet the first employee recruited by founder Gary Gibson. Russell left SRC after 3 years to work for the Qld Dept of Mines and UQ, but returned to SRC to run our Queensland seismic networks 20 years ago.
Like many of our staff, Elodie did her time on the data analysis treadmill, and is now a critical part of our earthquake hazard assessment team. You can find Elodie on Twitter: @borleis
