LIGO+PROJECT+INSTRUCTIONS

Return to SJHSRC LIGO Home [|BH's 2008-09 logbook] =Here are some preliminary instructions for the LIGO seismic sensitivity project.=

Go to [|this site] to get a map and a table of the data for the first week of the month you have been assigned. Use magnitude 4.0 as the minimum magnitude to get a reasonably-sized data set for one week. The output will be a world map with quakes located, followed below by a table. In the end, you should produce several kinds of documents in the wikispace. The first is a page with the earthquake data you've obtained from the site listed above (like this example--just highlight the data, copy and paste it). The second KIND of page is a page dedicated to each of the quakes which you successfully identify in the LIGO data using Bluestone. (You can consult the posted attempts to do this earlier in the year, here, to refresh your memory and get up to speed on this process.) The third is a google map of all of the quakes in your month. To find the quake sites in [|maps.google.com], just select and copy the longitude and latitude into the search box. (Here's a follow-up version of this same project conducted by students and teachers during summer 2008.)
