The most powerful U.S. earthquake in 50 years, an 8.2-magnitude tremor, recently occurred in Alaska. Typically, ground-based instruments provide data for both alerts and study of Earth's internal geology. But what if scientists could detect seismic activity while airborne? In this webinar, we'll explore a balloon-based technique that detects low-frequency sound waves from earthquakes, and its potential use on other planets. Relevant instructional resources will also be included.

Get Connected: STEM Email Groups, Volunteers, Mentors |

Join our K-12 STEM Outreach Google Groups! These email groups (open and moderated listservs) are all about sharing resources, information, events, volunteers, needs, and more with others reaching out to K-12 students aiming to excite them about science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
For those not in one of these areas who still want to receive information going out to all groups, join the Texas K-12 STEM Outreach group. Contact Tricia Berry for any specific regional requests or questions. |
