Citizen seismic stations. Earthquake monitoring and detection

I have launched a new portal dedicated to citizen seismic stations. Created with low-cost materials, affordable for the majority of the population, educational centers, researchers, and development professionals.

The intention is to make the necessary materials and software available to interested people. The project aims to expand seismic networks to achieve better event resolution and generate new and valuable data.

Citizen projects, as their name suggests, are "city" projects, so the data is often contaminated by daily human activity, but they still offer very interesting and new data that had been impossible until now. Now we can obtain data from our surroundings.

The project is in beta phase and developed entirely by me, but it is already beginning to offer visible results.

Software features:

- It can be used with different types of sensors (accelerometers or geophones).

- Offers .mseed file sharing (standard in seismology)

- Prepared to trigger alarms in 25 different individual frequency ranges.

- Real-time monitoring through web-based management of the 25 frequency ranges, alerts, and spectrograms.

- Send in real time helicorders in format svg for best quality and graphs size.

On the website Earthquake citizen monitoring and detection with seismic stations, you can view some real-time data: live seismograms from two seismic stations (one with a geophone and one with an accelerometer). These spectrograms are generated in real time. The data comes from two stations installed in the city of Girona, Catalonia.

The website also displays the timing of an earthquake and how the software reacts to the event, corroborated with various professional stations and real-time seismic monitoring software on a global scale.
