AQMS
A 3-Day Intensive Course on Advanced Earthquake Monitoring and Detection
AQMS is the ANSS Quake Monitoring System which is a 100% open source wrapper around Earthworm involving a Postgres database. AQMS can be used to recalculate earthquake hypocenters and magnitudes using an advanced Graphical User Interface (GUI) known as Jiggle. It also provides a management platform for the earthquake catalog, complete with distribution tools via web services. AQMS runs on Linux systems (it did, however, originate on Solaris and rely on Oracle), but analysts can use the Jiggle GUI on any platform since it is coded in Java and works remotely from the server.
Currently, AQMS training is offered as part of a 3-Day Earthworm/AQMS intensive course. In the course, we will provide an expert’s insight into the system. You will learn tricks and tips from our decades of experience operating and programming Earthworm and AQMS. You will learn how to set up regional automatic earthquake detection with the latest release of Earthworm.
This course covers:
- Working with the Earthquake Catalog
- Earthquake re-picking and relocating with Jiggle
- Setting up an Earthworm System to feed AQMS
- Back-end AQMS modules to go between Earthworm, Jiggle, and the database. Definition/ Configuration/ Troubleshooting
- Basic care and feeding of AQMS – standard database maintenance and troubleshooting
- Postgres and Oracle
