Mary Immaculate Secondary School in Lisdoonvarna has been presented with its very own seismograph, which will enable students to record seismic activity from around the world in real time.
Funded by Research Ireland, the seismograph is being provided by the QuakeShake project, a division of the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications and a joint initiative of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) and Geological Survey Ireland (GSI) aimed at engaging the public in studying earthquakes and seismic activity.
The presentation was made during a visit to Mary Immaculate by GSI Director Koen Verbruggen to mark the North Clare’s track record of success in the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE).
A huge well done to everyone involved 👏🏼
