From Orientation To New Haven

Home » Blogs » Lauren Abrahams » From Orientation To New Haven

May 31st, 2015

Everyday of orientation was packed to the brim with fun activities. I would never have been able to get this kind of field experience at my home university. Besides the number of hikes we took, I also learned to set up a seismometers and geophones. I've learned so many new things in my first week of the internship I can't wait to see what Yale has in store for me. 

Here's me in New Mexico Checking that each geophone is operational:

 

Here's me hiting a metal plate with a sledge hammer to create vibrations in the ground
