Medicine & TechnologyResearchers from Northwestern University have tapped citizen scientists, some 2,000 of them, for a crowd-based analysis of seismic recordings - an activity previously limited to specialized computers or trained professionals.
Scientists at Duke University are studying earthquakes and have devised a “Proposed Melting Rocks” model that will foresee the initial movement of rock begins in several kinds of bedrock. Prior to developing this model for earthquakes, there was much guessing into what is happening under everyone’s feet.
