That feeling when a significant #earthquake occurs in an area where a new array has just been deployed 🤤#datascience
@mattodon This ~40km spaced array will be moved around the state’s 2.5 million square kilometre area over the next 5-10 years, creating a data set that will enable the detailed modelling of WA’s lithosphere, as well as improving the detectability of small earthquakes in previously unmonitored areas
@seislologist any specific geologic questions that this might shed light on? Or is it mostly about bumping resolution up and see what's coming?
@mattodon there has never been a statewide high resolution seismic network, so it could be used for many applications. WA is resource-rich, so mineral exploration will likely benefit from the results of the data analysis
@seislologist beautiful array. Anything particular that will be studied in this area with it?
