But a project headed by the Whiting School’s chair of Civil Engineering actually did make the earth tremble. Using massive moving platforms and an array of video cameras and tiny sensors, Benjamin W. Schafer, the Swirnow Family Faculty Scholar, along with a team of scientists from six universities, last...
