Research Opportunities for Schools at LIGO Hanford Observatory

LIGO continuously collects thousands of channels of data. Our primary business concerns one of these - the gravitational wave channel. But in order to operate our detector we must monitor multitudes of environmental effects. We would welcome the help of you and your students! LIGO scientists continue to develop methods of sharing our environmental data with schools, and we have several ideas for ways that your school could partner with us on a data analysis project.

Previous collaborations:

• High school students build and test an interferometer

• One school's exposition of LIGO-related student science projects

• A description of a high school seismic data analysis project at LIGO Hanford

Make an inquiry about research projects by calling our outreach coordinator at 509-372-8300 ext 248 or by sending an email
