2025 Woods Hole Science Stroll

Detailed Description

Brita Jessen and Eric Moore at the earthquake station at the 2025 Woods Hole Science Stroll on August 9, 2025. We setup a shake table that moves in different directions, at varying frequencies to demonstrate the power of earthquakes. People built structures out of Legos to put on the shake table to test how buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure would behave during a real seismic event.
