(funded by the Keck Foundation)

Purpose:

Refine hazard models of ground shaking and fault properties for potentially damaging earthquakes in Northern Nevada

• Improved earthquake locations

• Accurate earthquake magnitudes

• Earthquake focal mechanisms and imaging active fault zones

• Attenuation properties

• Earthquake source properties

• Site effects

Purpose:

Automatic earthquake location and magnitude broadcasts for local and state agencies and emergency management groups as well as for private companies concerned about earthquake hazards

Purpose:

Installation of seismograph stations linked through the regional microwave network to establish seismic monitoring capability at remote locations in Nevada for earthquake hazard purposes
