Abstract
Due to the expanse and remoteness of Australian communities we require local exper ts and enthusiasts to provide support and share their knowledge with schools. The project involves an online education portal allowing access by students to earthquake recordings in their own and other schools. The data schools collect will be useful to researchers and could complement networks run by government and state agencies due to the high quality of the instruments and will be stored at internationally accessible and supported data management centres. A growing community of volunteers is forming to support the program within their local area. Over the duration of the project these volunteers will enhance the project through provision of technical exper tise as well as promotion within the education sector.
