Cal Poly Humboldt campus news recently joined us for a big expansion of our DAS array in Humboldt County. We enlisted the help of Cal Poly geology students for the tap test used to locate the channels. Lots of hammer swinging and head scratching; overall a successful day.

The Earthquake Fellows Program at Caltech is an outreach initiative that introduces local high school students to scientific research through the lens of seismology. The goal of the program is to give students from groups that are underrepresented in science an opportunity to see what a career in science looks like. Jimmy helped shape the program’s curriculum and objectives during its first two years. Learn more.
