Networked Seismology

Networked Seismology is a method that uses multiple interconnected seismic sensors distributed over a region to monitor and analyze Earth’s movements. By comparing data from various locations simultaneously, scientists can detect, locate, and study earthquakes and other seismic events more accurately. This collaborative approach improves the sensitivity and coverage of seismic detection, allowing for quicker response times and better understanding of Earth's interior processes. Essentially, it’s like having a widespread, coordinated listening network that provides a clearer, more detailed picture of seismic activity than isolated sensors could achieve alone.
