What is the Nevada Seismological Laboratory? |
|
| Established as a separate research and public service division, the Nevada Seismological Laboratory has overall responsibility for instrumental studies of earthquakes in the Nevada region. The laboratory operates a statewide network of seismographic stations and investigates the sizes, frequencies of occurrence, and distribution of earthquakes in the region, and other problems related to seismic risk in Nevada. The laboratory disseminates information through the World Wide Web and regularly publishes research results. It serves as a repository of information and a resource for the public on matters related to earthquake activity and earthquake risks in Nevada and adjoining states. The laboratory also handles grant- and contract-supported research on seismic problems of national and international importance, and interacts closely with the UNR Department of Geological Sciences to prepare well-educated professionals for careers in seismology. |  |
