Evaluate role of seismic data in establishing landslide timing

[ehmatthes]

Focus on several well-documented landslide events, and see if there seems to be an identifiable seismic signature corresponding to the known events.

• [x] Kramer Ave slide, 8/2015
• [ ] Starrigavan slide, 9/2014
• [ ] Sand dollar slide, 11/2020
• [x] Run this over a variety of dates, to see what normal variations from ie people waking up and driving around town looks like.
• [ ] Clarify conversion of timestamps.
• [ ] Write a script to generate a series of daily plots for one of these events, +/- 1 week, and see if there are regular events that trigger this kind of seismic activity.
  • [x] Start with manual plot of +/-3 days, and +/- 1.5 hours
• [x] Look at the options for plotting data in obspy.
