QCN App - Search by Station or Event!
Check out the NEW QCN App! Search for seismograms by your QCN station or earthquake event, and then plot the waveforms with those collected from nearby locations to compare and contrast. Are the waveforms like you would expect? Does geology, like soil and rock type, make a difference? Find out with your collected QCN data!
QCN Education Network
The Quake-Catcher Network is now a fully education-based network for K-12 schools, museums, libraries, and other learning environments. If you are working in one of these environments and would like to become a QCN partner, let us know! Find our information on the 'Contact Us' page under 'Help'!
Anchorage, Alaska participation in QCN!
The Alaska Native Geoscience Learning Experience (ANGLE) team utilizes QCN to provide STEM learning experiences for students and teachers!
EarthScope Alaska Native Geoscience Learning Experience
QCN has partnered with the Anchorage School District (ASD) to update and expand QCN stations in over 25 of their K-12 schools, Kodiak High School, and the National Wildlife Refuge Kodiak Visitor Center. A partnership between ASD and Coachella Valley, CA will bring K-12 students from two very active earthquake regions in the US together to share ideas, data, and to promote earthquake and tsunami preparedness.
Seismometer Delivers Low-Cost Earthquake Early Warning
A Southern California high schooler built a low-cost seismometer device that delivers earthquake early warnings for homes and businesses. The seismometer could someday be a regular household safety device akin to a smart smoke detector, says its inventor Vivien He.
The Quake Catcher Network (QCN)
The Quake-Catcher Network utilizes low-cost strong-motion seismic sensors in K-12 schools, museums, libraries, and other education environments across the United States to provide a way for learners to engage with seismic data collected around them. The Quake-Catcher Network also provides educational software and visualization tools designed to help teach about earthquake science, hazards, and risk.
