Researchers will install monitors to study Seattle earthquake fault zone

It will be a busy weekend for a team of Harvard Ph.D. students trying to learn more about the Seattle earthquake fault zone.

The team will spend their weekend installing seismometers at the homes of volunteers around Seattle who agreed to have seismic activity recorded on their property.

The project is called “Seaquake” and was planned before an earthquake shook western Washington early Friday morning. Although that quake did not hit along the Seattle fault line, it gives added importance to the reason they are doing this work.

“The reason I care about earthquakes is because of the communities they affect,” Natasha Toghramadjian explained.
