Earthquakes and You: Be a Citizen Seismologist

Since before seismic instrumentation was developed, ordinary people made valuable contributions to seismology by describing their experiences in earthquakes and the they saw – these reports are still used today to determine approximate magnitudes for past events. Similar reports are still collected, for example in the USGS "Did you feel it" web pages. In the connected world of today, citizen seismologists have new options for participating in advancing our seismological frontiers. Come find out how!
