Rischio Sismico - Aplicaciones de Android. - Use your smartphone or pad as a vibrometer to automatically detect earthquakes and vibrations. Set an alarm in case the smartphone detects vibrations. - Use the app as an alerter and fire a sound alarm in case a quake is detected. Report an earthquake that you felt and see the real time map with the reports of the other users and their messages related to the quake. Use the chat to share information about the quakes. - Receive quasi real time notifications of the quakes detected by the global monitoring networks. - Receive real time E-MAIL notifications of the quakes reported within a radius from your position. - View the earthquake detected in real time by USGS (U.S.
. - View the global tectonic plates. - View the hazard of strong quakes globally. - Check if the quake generated a tsunami in the ocean. - View the population living in 3 different radius from the epicenter of each quake. - Show high resolution maps of volcanoes (in beta version).

British Geological Survey. Posters. This poster combines a visualization of ground motion resulting from the February 21, 2008 M 6.0 earthquake that occurred near Wells, NV, with the image of a faucet to illustrate a classic Earth science functional analogy: "Seismic waves radiate outward from an earthquake's epicenter like ripples on water". For students this discrepant image attracts attention and links the unfamiliar concept of the spreading out of seismic waves (the target) to a similar but more familiar scenario of ripples on water radiating outwards in all directions after a droplet or pebble falls onto it (the analog).
Additionally the material is made approachable by using a clean artistic design, ideas students are likely to have experienced, and a prominent URL where students to learn more. When presented at the beginning of seismic waves instruction, this poster and it's question (Earthquakes... like ripples on water?) Becomes the catalyst for student-generated questions, inquiry, and learning. Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Websismo. GIS as Project Manager in Geophysical Applications Software. GIS as Project Manager in Geophysical Applications Software The changing trends in information technology have greatly influenced the role of GIS in spatial data management, analysis, processing and presentation. It has evolved from the conventional cartography and image processing to advanced 3D visualization and dynamic graphics tools. Due to this evolving nature of GIS, it has found wide applications in a number of diverse fields. Geophysical exploration projects involve data acquisition at hundreds of spatial locations resulting in large number of datasets.
