Is there anyone at #PyConUS with a background in seismology?
I'm wondering if it's possible to recognize landslides from seismic data. If so, it would help identify exactly when some landslides in our community happened.
@ehmatthes ooo but since you know the precise location of the slide if you have multiple sensors you could triangulate the location to help with the noise
@ehmatthes I would ask Dr Wendy Bohon on twitter (https://x.com/DrWendyRocks). The answer is almost certainly yes but maybe not well enough for your use case. She still has an account “here”” but it may be unmonitored @DrWendyRocks
@ehmatthes I'm an ex-geologist and yes, this seems possible if you have seismometers close by. I just looked up the Oso slide in Washington State and that was picked up on several local seismometers. Happy to meet and chat about it this afternoon if you like.
