About this Event
Join us for an exciting QuakeShake public workshop in Letterkenny, where members of the community will have the opportunity to participate in QuakeShake - a unique earthquake citizen science project operated by the Dublin Institute for Advance Studies (DIAS) in co-operation with Geological Survey Ireland.
During this one-hour event, we will introduce you to the fascinating world of seismology and explain how you can contribute to the recording of local and global earthquakes right from your own home. Assist the Irish National Seismic Network recording local earthquakes in Co. Donegal, Ireland's earthquake hotbed.
Approximately 20 seismometers will be raffled to participants interested in hosting them, allowing you to be part of this innovative and engaging project. Please note a MOU will need to be signed on the night.
This workshop will cover:
- An introduction to QuakeShake and its goals.
- How seismometers work and what data they collect.
- What it means to host a seismometer in your home. Registration: This event is free to attend, but spaces are limited. Please register to reserve your spot.
Location Details: The Station House Hotel is centrally located in Letterkenny and easily accessible.
