Map of Strong-Motion Stations in Reno and Carson City |
| Earthquake strong-ground-shaking sensor sites maintained by the
Nevada Seismological Laboratory. Installed in 1999, each site consists
of a digitally recorded Kinemetrics
EpiSensor that can measure shaking up to 2.5 g. Recording is not continuous,
but is triggered by motions over 0.1 g. When local earthquake activity
is quiet, records are transferred by flashROM cards quarterly. Equipment and operational support have been provided by the State of Nevada, the U.S. Geological Survey, the W. M. Keck Foundation, the Cities of Reno, Sparks, and Carson, Sierra Pacific Power Co., and the Union Pacific Foundation. Stations are maintained by Rasool Anooshehpoor. Map prepared by John Louie. Visit the UNRNET Data Server
to obtain digital data from these instruments. |
