Research Projects

	January, 3 Louie: The Collaboratory for Computational Geosciences (CCoG) CCoG is a center for teaching, research, and technology transfer on computational solutions to problems in the geological sciences, geoengineering, and environmental sciences.
	January, 3 Louie, Pullammanappallil, Cashman, Trexler: Optimized Velocities and Prestack Depth Migration in the Reno-Area Basin The NSL and the U.S. Geological Survey are probing earthquake faults below Reno and Sparks with seismic reflection surveys.
	June, 3 Louie: The Sound of Seismic John Louie presents examples of earth sounds recorded by seismometers. These sounds, as well as videos illustrating seismic wave propagation, are being released as Podcast episodes. Subscribe to http://crack.seismo.unr.edu/sounds/sound-of-seismic.xml .
	May, 20 Kent, Karlin: A Reconnaissance Seismic CHIRP Survey of Pyramid Lake Join scientists from UNR, Scripps and the USGS as they collect a high-res grid of seismic CHIRP data across the many fault lines and slides beneath Pyramid Lake—in hopes of better defining the tectonic environment and geothermal potential of the region.
	May, 12 Kent: Advanced MCS processing of the SISMOMAR 3D data volume: Exploring linkages within the magmatically driven hydrothermal system of the Lucky Strike Volcano New multichannel seismic (MCS) imaging techniques (e.g., downward continuation) are used to explore the 3D structure of the Lucky Strike Hydrothermal Field, Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
	May, 12 Kent: Geophysical Survey of the Salton Sea DWR-funded program to collect seismic CHIRP, side-scan sonar, multibeam and terrestrial lidar at the Salton Sea, California
	May, 10 Kent: CHIRP Paleoseismic Investigation of Lake Elsinore This summer (2010) researchers from UNR and Scripps Institution of Oceanography will conduct a pilot survey on Lake Elsinore to employ seismic CHIRP imaging to test ideas regarding multi-segment ruptures along the Elsinore Fault.
	May, 10 Kent: Lake Cauhilla floods, synchronicity of cross fault rupture, and potential triggering of the San Andreas Fault This project aims to continue analysis of high-resolution seismic CHIRP data to investigation the relationship between floods of Lake Cauhilla and large ruptures along the southern San Andreas Fault.
	May, 9 Kent: Characterizing the most recent event (MRE) on the North Tahoe-Stateline fault, Lake Tahoe This summer (2010) we will return once again to Lake Tahoe to undertake a seismic CHIRP survey to focus on the structure and recency of rupture along the North Tahoe-Stateline Fault, Lake Tahoe
	May, 9 Kent: Salton Sea MCS and OBS Experiment Data acquisition is underway at the Salton Sea as we collect some "sparker" multichannel seismic (MCS) reflection profiles to learn more about rifting in the Salton Trough.
