Overview

• The peer-reviewed paper, led by Eleanor Dunn, appears in the International Journal of Science Education, Part B.
• Scientists deployed 42 temporary seismometers at 21 locations around Aviva Stadium and cross-checked results with the Irish National Seismic Network.
• Concert vibrations during songs such as “Shake It Off” aligned with patterns recorded in the Dublin mountains and Wexford, more than 100 kilometers away.
• The team invited fans to share concert videos to time-stamp seismic peaks, pairing measurements with a coordinated social media outreach effort.
• The Dublin findings build on earlier concert-related ground motion documented in cities including Edinburgh, Seattle, and Los Angeles.
