University of Wisconsin-Madison students Matthew Kogle and Kelly Hoehn logged thousands of miles this summer driving rural Wisconsin roads, scanning the landscape. When they found a promising spot, they knocked on the door of the nearest farmhouse and tried to interest the owners in their cause.
Door-to-door salespeople? Not quite. The geoscience students are recruiting Wisconsin landowners to become part of an exclusive group of about 1,600 people across the country to host a piece of a scientific grid that will span the country by 2014. The network of instruments, called the USArray, uses seismic waves to produce an image of the Earth's internal structure - somewhat like taking a CT scan of North America.

On July 15, 2010, University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate student Matthew Kogle and recent graduate Kelly Hoehn meet in Weeks Hall for Geological Science to discuss locations in southern Wisconsin that were visited as part of the USArray program. The program involves a network of scientific instruments that will use seismic waves to produce an image of the Earth's internal structure. Kogle and Hoehn logged thousands of miles driving rural Wisconsin roads searching for appropriate locations and seeking permission from landowners to place the equipment on their property.
