June 16-17, 2016   Objectives Participating teachers will be able to use the LIGO e-Lab to: Plot and interpret data recorded by LIGO seismic instruments Explain the importance of LIGO seismic data in gravitiational wave search Use LIGO seismic data to demonstrate classical…

Dale Ingram of LIGO sent a nice description: 0.03 - 0.1 Hz -- Large distant quakes (>6.5); the seismic effects of strong local winds. 0.1 - 0.3 Hz -- Large distant quakes (>7); microseisms (from ocean waves). 0.3 - 1 Hz -- Nothing of note.  This is the quietest band, with no…

Describe seismic waves. What are the types of seismic waves? How are they different from one another? How do the various types of seismic waves propagate through the earth? Why are seismic waves important to LIGO? What are sources of seismic waves? How are seismic waves measured?
