This infographic contains text about seismic arrays for earthquake early warning in Alaska. It includes a map with seismic activity marked, and a photo of PhD student Cade Quigley in the top left corner. The title is "Designing seismic arrays for offshore Earthquake Early Warning applications: insights from coastal deployments in Alaska". A caption at the bottom describes research on seismic sensors in coastal Alaska for detecting large offshore earthquakes. The Alaska Earthquake Center logo is in the upper right corner.
