Exciting news! We're transitioning to the Statewide California Earthquake Center. Our new website is under construction, but we'll continue using this website for SCEC business in the meantime. We're also archiving the Southern Center site to preserve its rich history. A new and improved platform is coming soon!

UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES IN EARTHQUAKE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

 

ABOUT GRAND CHALLENGES INTERNS PROJECTS
 

Summary

In 2004, the UseIT challenge was focused on delivering earthquake information to the Earthquake Country Alliance, a new statewide organization (originally established by SCEC) which has the responsibility of coordinating the now-yearly "Great California ShakeOut". Videos and animations were developed and adapted to the specific needs of the ECA regional chapters. To ensure that such materials could be made readily available to the public, the UseIT interns developed new web-based capabilities using an open-source content management system (Drupal), which can be flexibly configured and adapted to video-streaming and other multimedia management, as well as social networking and virtual collaboration.

Challenge Statement
Develop a version of LA3D that is functionally capable of stable enough to release to the scientific community. Prototype the next generation of intern software, which should be capable of visualizing earthquake objects in a whole-Earth spherical coordinate system (SCEC-VDO).
