Take a look into the University of Memphis' earthquake research center

University of Memphis' Center for Earthquake Research and Information looks at possible earthquakes in the area and how outside forces can affect TN. The University of Memphis' earthquake research center has been transformed into a virtual reality game that allows players to place themselves under fault lines. Research associate Holly Withers explains how she watches for certain things on the duty review page to give information about how impactful an earthquake is. PhD students Navin Thapa and Alamgir Hosain demonstrate how they use the ‘Direct Shear Apparatus Unit’ to replicate seismic activity on a small scale in the Earthquake Physic Lab. Christodoulos Kyriakopoulos also discusses his 3D printed models of California from the perspective of fault lines in the earthquake Modeling and Visualization Lab at the University ofphis Center for Earthquake Research and Information.
