Baghdad Seismometer Provides Seismic Record of Explosions and Ammunition 'Cookoff' During Iraq War

The seismometer was built for bigger bangs. Housed in a Baghdad office, it was used to study how seismic waves caused by earthquakes differ from those caused by nuclear test explosions as they pass through the region’s crust. But in 2006, the instrument was picking up the background sounds of an escalating war.
