Recent Earthquakes in Nevada and Eastern California - 970915 Archive

The ``finger quake@seismo.unr.edu'' service is an earthquake response system sponsored by the Nevada Seismic Research Affiliates of the University of Nevada, Reno Foundation.

Click on the image for a larger map in GIF format, here for a map in Adobe's PDF format, or here for a map in PostScript format showing the most recent located events. Each event is labeled with its date, magnitude, and the type of magnitude estimate (Md is a duration magnitude; Ml is a local Richter magnitude). The largest and the latest of the events are also labeled boldly. All events on this map have been checked and located by an analyst.

The PostScript map is most usefully sent to your PostScript printer for high-resolution output. You can view the plot on your screen using a PostScript display program such as GhostScriptor Adobe Acrobat Distiller and Reader. Unfortunately, this PostScript file is notEPS and will not directly import to popular page-layout or graphics applications.

The most recent human-interpreted earthquakes listed appear on this page (near the bottom) within a few days of their occurrence. During an active earthquake sequence, this list may be updated every few hours.

More rapid but less reliable earthquake locations are available to the public on the Nevada Broadcast of Earthquakes, or on display terminals located at the Seismological Lab next to our earthquake helicorder display.

Large earthquakes may also appear within a few minutes on the UNRSL Helicorder Camera.

The information included in these documents is intended to improve earthquake preparedness; however, it does not guarantee the safety of an individual structure or facility. The State of Nevada does not assume liability for any injury, death, or property damage that occurs in connection with an earthquake.

           Seismic Bulletin -- U. Nevada-Reno Seismological Laboratory

This bulletin is for the state of Nevada plus the eastern Sierra Nevada within
California.  The time span of the catalog is approximately for the past 10 days.
Times given are in UTC (Universal Time Code) -- subtract 7 hours (summer) or
8 hours (winter) to get the time in the Pacific time zone.  Only events with
magnitude of 2.0 or greater or listed.

The UNR is a member of the Council of the National Seismic System and 
strives to release earthquake information in a timely manner over the Internet
in a format identical to other members of the council.
