The U.S. Geological Survey is holding a congressional briefing titled, “Citizen Science and Earthquakes: Reducing Risk Through the Power of People.” The briefing will take place next Friday in the Longworth House Office Building, and will highlight the use of innovative tools that combine citizen involvement to detect and share critical information on earthquakes. Certainly on the schedule will be the agency’s CoreCast system which collects and analyzes Twitter accounts from earthquakes around the world.
