Quing Zhu (ECE Department) Sponser: U.S. Geological Survey – Office of Groundwater

Scientific agency of the US government. Study of landscape, natural resources, and the natural hazards that threaten it. Divided into four major science disciplines, concerning biology, geography, geology, and hydrology. Branch of Geophysics – Ground Water Management

Providing technical support and guidance

Applied Research Improve monitoring methods Monitor hydrologic processes Borehole-radar methods for ground-water investigations Technology Transfer Improve monitoring methods Testing of newly developed geophysical technology

Phase 1: Developing an inexpensive data acquisition-storage device which incorporates the use of a geophone. Phase 2: Developing a sustainable energy power source for the device. Phase 3: Create a means of accessing the device via satellite or mobile device.

Geophone Microcontroller USB Solar Panel Storage Device Data Transmission Amplifier Program Code BPF

Converts Ground Movement into Voltage Spring-mounted magnetic mass moving within a wire coil Waves passing through the earth have a three- dimensional nature

Three-component or 3-C geophones
