The term "Earth sciences", comprises the fields of study concerned with understanding the structure and evolution of the Earth, the processes that lead to the formation of Earth's materials, and natural hazards. It also comprises the study of the human-generated or induced hazards that affects either rock stability, soil, or underground water quali...

Context 1
... allow users with or without RaspberryShake seismographs to view real-time waveforms from all stations part of the network, to compute the earthquake location using actual data, as well as other products in the field of seismology such as helicorders or frequency spectra (Figure 2). Starting as a hobbyist and citizen science project, through the development of a plug-and-play professional home science monitor, ShakeNet made an impact and aided in improving local monitoring of earthquakes on a global scale, deepening community's understanding of earthquakes, and serving as a formidable teaching tool. ...

... products are of most interest to authorities as they allow the emergency responders at all levels to have within a few seconds a preliminary assessment of the earthquake impact and mobilize resources accordingly. For illustrative purposes, in Figure 12 there are given some Shakemaps products based on the peak ground velocity (PGV) and peak response spectral acceleration as observed at 0.3, 1.0, and 3.0 sec for November 30, 2018, Mw 7.1 earthquake that occurred near Anchorage, Alaska, provided by USGS generally for events with magnitude above 4.5. ...
