LA Times: Laptops could be key to an earthquake early-warning system

Cara Mia DiMassa from the LA Times reports on UC Riverside earth scientist, Elizabeth Cochran's project to use personal computers to detect seismic movement.

"We would have seismometers in every building, or at least on every block. And in tall buildings, we'd have multiple sensors [on different floors]. That way, we would be able to actually get much higher detail, images of how the ground shakes during an earthquake," said Cochran.
