Turn everyday homes and buildings into a distributed seismic monitoring network with GeoShake.
What GeoShake does
- Community-powered detection: Connect affordable IoT sensor nodes across neighborhoods to form a dense, resilient seismic network.
- Early detection & local alerts: Aggregate real-time ground motion to detect events faster and raise localized alerts that help communities respond sooner.
- Real-time insights: Live dashboards, event timelines, and sensor health metrics let you monitor ground motion across your area.
- Affordable & accessible: Built for low-cost sensors and easy deployment — no specialized scientific infrastructure required.
- Open & transparent: GeoShake is open-source and designed for reproducible, verifiable seismic data and collaborative research.
- Localized precision: Dense node placement improves location accuracy and helps detect smaller events that sparse networks miss.
