The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Baylor University to build and test a Raspberry Pi Enhanced REF TEK (RaPiER) seismic nodal system that is capable of acquiring, transmitting, and processing seismic data in near real-time. This study is intended to develop a novel technology for characterizing geothermal sites by extracting information from ambient seismic noise surveys.
