Meet Isabel Rossi, a Williamsburg, Virginia eighth-grader who tested a new way to position earthquake sensors; her mathematical model improved simulated coverage by 16.7% with just five additional devices
- Earthquake sensors can help detect seismic activity and provide early warnings, but deciding where to install them is not easy.
- Scientists must consider how accurately the devices can detect earthquakes, how much ground they can cover and whether their locations are accessible.
