Magnitude 5.0 earthquake in Wollemi National Park detected by Oberon Citizen Science seismology network

Published

August 23, 2024

Oberon Citizen Science Network (OCSN) detected today’s M5.0 earthquake at Denman on their Raspberry Shake seismographs.

OCSN currently has two Raspberry Shake and Boom seismographs (for detecting vertical ground movement and infrasound) and one Raspberrry Shake 3D seismograph for seismic measurements in all three dimensions.

OCSN is a newly formed Citizen Science Network, soon to be incorporated and will be seeking funding to expand the array of Raspberry Shake and Booms in the Oberon LGA. A dense array is the best way to detect small local earthquakes, blasts and locate infrasonic events such as meteors and bolides.
