New research out from the journal Current Biology discovered that different movement patterns of elephants (walking stomping, charging) create unique ultra low frequency seismic waves.
Paired with earlier evidence that elephants are able to detect low energy seismic waves, scientist hypothesize that these self created seismic waves might be used communicate with other elephants up to 6.4 kilometers away!
Listening for elephant vibrations would certainly be one of the more unique use-cases for our Geode Seismograph, but it is totally possible given this research. It only goes to show that there are still many undiscovered use cases for seismographs like our Geode!
