Scientists from the University of Washington will be closely monitoring today's football game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Carolina Panthers using earthquake detection equipment to study the effects of the crowd's movement. The seismologists first took notice when Seahawks fans at a 2011 playoff game produced a low magnitude earthquake recorded by a nearby monitoring station. For Saturday's game, the research team has installed instruments in the stands and near the playing field as part of an experiment to develop an earthquake early warning system.
