Modern Environmental Monitoring with Q8 and QME

Featuring: Arvind Parapuzha, Kinemetrics, Inc.

Environmental monitoring networks incorporate the acquisition of various categories of data sources. Simplifying the connection of multiple data sources to data acquisition equipment, while maintaining high fidelity, requires significant systems engineering to mitigate conditions that compromise the quality of acquired data.

The new Quanterra Mesh Extension (QME) for Q8 data acquisition systems allows for simplified integration of up to 16 one-sample-per-second environmental sensors, analog and digital. QME uses a modern IEEE wireless protocol, eliminating the management of multiple cables, ground loops, conduits, trenching, while adding freedom in sensors positioning. With the added mesh option for your high-fidelity stations, one can de-couple pressure information for pristine seismic signals.

In this informative webinar and Q&A, Arvind Parapuzha from Kinemetrics will describe how the QME improves environmental data quality, and lowers installation costs and time, without specialized software.  This live presentation is perfect for environmental monitoring system operators, or anyone who needs simple, reliable integration of monitoring equipment for temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, tilt, strain, external voltage, intrusion, and more.

Latest Advances in the Antelope Environmental Monitoring System – Antelope 5.14

Featuring Dr. Kent Lindquist, Boulder Real Time Technologies, Inc.

The Antelope Environmental Monitoring Software sets the standard for data acquisition, analysis, and management software. Designed to provide a comprehensive set of real-time environmental monitoring data and processed information, Antelope is leveraged by the 10 largest seismic networks in the world (outside of Japan) to ensure the highest level of data return and robustness.

In this presentation and live Q&A, Dr. Kent Lindquist will discuss the new challenges addressed and important advances in the recently released version 5.14 of the Antelope Environmental Monitoring System. The new version continues to push Antelope as the leading edge of data monitoring technology, while creating an even more intuitive user experience.

This session is a must for anyone involved in environmental and seismic monitoring. Don’t miss this opportunity to draw upon Dr. Lindquist’s experience to better understand how to manage small and large seismic systems.

The 99% Data Return Recipe

Featuring Dr. Mathias Franke, Kinemetrics Inc.

99% Data Return over an entire year – No Timing Issues – No Micro Gaps. These performance indicators tell the story of sound engineering, outstanding dataloggers, and enterprise-class software.

Data return is the ultimate benchmark of the success of any environmental monitoring network. Without data, operators gain no value from their investment in the system. Systems related to the observational sciences (e.g., seismic networks, etc.) rely even more heavily upon high data returns. You can’t schedule an earthquake, so if the system misses data, generates error-laced returns, or experiences downtime, entire events can be missed.

In this informative webinar + Q&A, Dr. Mathias Franke describes how to achieve the lofty target of 99% data return with pristine timing in real-world seismic systems. This presentation places particular emphasis on the practical application of specific technology based upon a proven track record of delivering unmatched data return in large mission-critical systems.

Antelope Structural Health Monitoring Applications

Seismic Networks in the Cloud

Featuring Dr. Mathias Franke, Kinemetrics Inc.

Traditional earthquake data processing is carried out utilizing dedicated hardware in a data center run by the seismic network operator. Such specialized data centers must be carefully planned, and hardware resources (space, power, servers, storage, routers, etc.) are purchased in advance or constantly aggregated/modified/updated.

With the evolution of the internet as the backbone of international data exchange, multi-tenant data centers started to evolve in many fields, eventually resulting in scientific cloud computing.

Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of computing power, database storage, applications, and other IT resources through a cloud services platform via the internet. State-of-the-art cloud data centers offer flexibility and scalability for demand-driven processes that can deliver the reliability required for critical observational science and civil protection initiatives such as seismic monitoring networks.

In this session, Dr. Mathias Franke will introduce us to the requirements, challenges, and opportunities provided by cloud-based seismic monitoring solutions such as Kinemetrics’ Aspen platform.

During this informative webinar and Q&A session, Dr. Franke will systematically and financially compares two cloud configurations: one for a small scientific network with a few data users and another for a very large national network with many stakeholders from network operators to emergency officers.

A 10-Year Review of the Operation of the Mission Critical Italian Strong-Motion Network – RAN

Featuring Dr. Mathias Franke, Kinemetrics, Inc.

The Italian Civil Protection Department (DPC) is the owner of the 500-station national Italian strong-motion network (Rete Accelerometrica Naczionale – RAN). Since 2012, DPC has outsourced the network maintenance and operation to Kinemetrics’ Open Systems & Services Division (OSS).

In this session, Dr. Mathias Franke will review the RAN performance from inception in 2012 to recent events spanning nearly ten years. The webinar highlights the dynamics of such a large network requesting constant improvements and the need for scalability. He will place additional focus on how the knowledge gained from the RAN is fed back into Kinemetrics’ Aspen Solution, e.g., software, hardware, and system design.
