Choosing an Earthquake Sensor
The Gecko seismograph is, at its core, simply a data logger that records voltage. That voltage comes from seismic sensors – there are dozens and dozens of them on the market, and the Gecko supports them all.
Customisable Linux SeedLink server
The GeckoLink accessory enables direct-from-site SeedLink streaming using the power of a Raspberry Pi, and introduces a web interface for remote data visualisation, remote configuration, and data management.
Visualising a Building’s Response to Earthquake
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.
New “Pro” range of digital sensors for 2020
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.
Track-celerograph
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!
Get to know the SRC: Russell Cuthbertson
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.
Get to know the SRC: Elodie Borleis
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
