Monitor Analog Telemetry Stations with Scanner
'GSP-Seis' is a new Seismic Telemetry Aquisition System for monitoring USGS seismic telemetry stations using audio from almost any scanner radio and antenna system. The program uses your computer's Sound Card as a 16-bit Analog-to-Digital converter. State of the art Digital Signal Processing (DSP) programming uses the processing power of your computer to pull weak signals out of the noise and provide usable data. Separates single tones from multi-tone systems such as those being used by the University of Washington at Mt. St. Helens. (Note that you must have a telemetry station within range of your monitoring point for the system to work. See below for information on how to find the location of seismic telemetry transmitters.)

You too can monitor seismic activity anywhere around the world with some relatively simple equipment which can be purchased for a few hundred dollars. The system I've built can detect earthquakes anywhere in the world over about magnitude 6.0. I happen to live less than 50 miles from a very active area at "The Geysers", a natural geo-thermal energy production area on the border of Lake and Sonoma Counties in northern California. It provides a constant source of low level earthquakes to keep me amused. I can see quakes down to magnitude 2.5 up there, and down below 2.0 if they are in Santa Rosa. [Continue Reading]

IRIS
Seismographs In Schools Program
http://www.iris.edu/edu/AS1.htm
The IRIS Seismographs In Schools program, funded by NSF, provides simple seismographs (the AS1) capable of recording earthquakes from around the world. Students can analyze data from their seismograph and from other schools to determine the magnitude and locations of earthquakes.
Near-real-time recordings of the school seismograph can be displayed on a Web site. IRIS distributes up to 30 AS1 seismographs per year, and over 100 AS1s have been given out to K-12 schools, science centers and organizations and universities.
The IRIS Seismographs is Schools program is part of the US Educational Seismology Network (USESN) initiative. The USESN is comprised of universities and other groups engaged in seismology education. The goals of the USESN include promoting the classroom use of educational seismographs and seismic data and disseminating hands-on curricular materials and educational services.

Various
Mac programs written by Jim Luetgert
http://quake.usgs.gov/~luetgert/Macintosh_Software/ - Moved - Updated 201006.01
New Address - http://earthquake.usgs.gov/research/software/
[Note: The (above) new page link now contains both Windows and Macintosh Research Software]
These are various programs I have written over the last several years. Download them, try them out, use them, give some feedback.
MacRay is a general purpose two-dimensional seismic ray-tracer for Macintosh. Originally written to trace rays through 2-dimensional p-wave models, MacRay has grown to support 2-d models defined in Vp, Vs and density. In addition to being able to model the full range of simple to complex raypaths, the 2-d gravity response of the model may also be calculated. For surveys providing seismic P, S and converted wave arrivals in addition to gravity measurements, the full suite of physical properties may be modeled; Vp, Vs, density, Poisson's ratio, Vp/Vs, Shear modulus, Bulk modulus, Young's modulus, Lame's parameter, lithostatic pressure.
With the addition of an assumed or measured geothermal gradient, we can model the pressure and temperature conditions at any point in our earth model. A recent addition to MacRay allows you to define the features of a pressure-temperature diagram (e.g. metamorphic grade, solidus) and map those P-T regions back into the earth model.
AT LAST!!! Thanks to the porting efforts of Larry Baker, MacRay for OSX is ready. This version also runs on the Intel Macs.
If you cannot avoid using a PC, RAY84PC is a PC version of the old Ray84 I wrote for Vax many, many years ago. It was ported from Vax -> PC by Hans Thybo of Copenhagen University, Denmark.
MacR1D is a one-dimensional seismic travel-time calculator for Macintosh. Travel-times vs distance are calculated for P and S arrivals (sorry, no converted phases or multiples) for sources at any depth. These may be compared to observed travel-times. This is a very quick way to define 1-d velocity models from observed arrival pics.
Range is an interactive application for calculating the distance and azimuths between any two latitude/longitude positions. Range provides for a wide selection of spheroids. (Macintosh)
UTM is an interactive application for converting coordinates back and forth between Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) and geographic (Latitude/Longitude). UTM provides for a wide selection of spheroids. (Macintosh)
Zoeppritz is an interactive application for calculating transmission and reflection coefficients. (Macintosh)
