Collaborative Research: RAPID: Deployment of a Nodal Array to Capture Aftershocks of the 2 — NSF Award to University of Missouri-C
Zhigang Peng and Eric Sandvol will install over 100 seismometers in southeastern Turkey to measure aftershocks following the deadly earthquakes of February 6, 2023. The seismometers should detect all aftershocks with magnitudes greater than 1, and over the ten-month deployment around 100,000 are likely to be recorded.

| Abstract | Zhigang Peng and Eric Sandvol will install over 100 seismometers in southeastern Turkey to measure aftershocks following the deadly earthquakes of February 6, 2023. The seismometers should detect all aftershocks with magnitudes greater than 1, and over the ten-month deployment around 100,000 are likely to be recorded. It is important that these seismometers be installed and making measurements soon after the major quakes because the number of aftershocks per day decreases over time. The recorded |
