#Utequake: An Outreach Project Combining Real-Time Large Crowd Seismology and Football
The #Utequake project is an outreach initiative from the University of Utah Seismograph Stations that bridges the gap between science and Athletics. For this project, we deployed a strong motion station in Rice-Eccles Stadium to record and correlate in real-time the signals generated by the crowd during University of Utah football home games. In this work, we showcase the visibility and impact of the project on social media, the University, and local media, and we will show some comparisons of the largest amplitude signals during the 2023 season. #Utequake showcases the powerful intersection of science and sports, creating a platform for education, entertainment, and community engagement.
