About Raspberry Shake
Raspberry Shake is an innovative seismology instrument company based in Panama, specializing in making complicated earthquake detection equipment simple. Their devices are probably the smallest seismographs of their caliber in existence, but don’t let the size fool you. They can record earthquakes of all magnitudes. From the vanishingly small blips that are imperceptible to human senses, to the big destructive earthquakes that regularly happen around the world.
In 2016 Raspberry Shake produced their first “personal” professional-grade seismograph designed to be simple enough for anyone to use. They went on to win an award for innovation from Panama’s equivalent of the national science foundation and four years later, in October 2020, they won a second prize in the same competition.
For the first time, hobbyists, citizen scientists and educators can access a plug-and-play professional Earth monitor and institutes can take advantage of this same technology to easily densify their existing networks with affordable seismographs. Today the Raspberry Shake community is the largest seismic network in the world with their seismographs now on every continent.
