Michelle Guy
I architect, manage, and build highly specialized state-of-the-art scientific software systems. These systems are one of a kind and serve to bring the unique science of the GHSC into real-time operations and produce products for worldwide consumption by scientific communities, emergency responders, government agencies and the general public.

Science and Products
Crowd-Sourced Earthquake Detections Integrated into Seismic Processing
The goal of this project is to improve the USGS National Earthquake Information Center’s (NEIC) earthquake detection capabilities through direct integration of crowd-sourced earthquake detections with traditional, instrument-based seismic processing. During the past 6 years, the NEIC has run a crowd-sourced system, called Tweet Earthquake Dispatch (TED), which rapidly detects earthquakes...
Characterization of Earthquake Damage and Effects Using Social Media Data
People in the locality of earthquakes are publishing anecdotal information about the shaking within seconds of their occurrences via social network technologies, such as Twitter. In contrast, depending on the size and location of the earthquake, scientific alerts can take between two to twenty minutes to publish. The goals of this project are to assess earthquake damage and effects...
