Seismology and S Guide - Resources and Review

The Southern California Integrated GPS Network (SCIGN) is a collaborative project to install 250 permanent, continuously recording Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers in and around the Los Angeles basin to provide accurate deformation information that will improve estimates of earthquake hazards. With this satellite technology, scientists are able to obtain extremely precise measurements of motions of the surface of the earth and the motion of the tectonic plates that make up its crust.
 
Quarterly publication featuring technical articles describing research, news of general interest to the earthquake hazards mitigation community, publication reviews and conference announcements.
 
The EERC carries out research in many fields, including dams, long span bridges, buildings, geotechnics, instrumentation, structural analysis, signal processing and full scale monitoring.
 
Aims to provide knowledge on earthquake science to reduce deaths, injuries, and property damage. Sections include earthquake activity, education, research, products, and news, and a reporting facility is also available.
 
NEIC predicts and disseminates scientific data and information on destructive seismic activity worldwide. Gives general information about earthquakes, current data, and details of the biggest earthquakes for 1999 and 2000.
 
Extensive list of Internet resources where original seismic data or seismic research information is available.
 
Scientific society devoted to the advancement of earthquake science, founded in 1906 in San Francisco.
 
An interface that uses data available from the National Earthquake Information Center, part of the US Geological Survey. This data provides basic information about earthquakes within hours of them taking place. In response to a query, the data is dynamically accessed from a USGS server in Golden, Colorado. The data is then processed into an appropriate format in Edinburgh and displayed using the Xerox PARC Map Viewer based in Palo Alto, California.
 
Keyword searchable resource containing news of the latest earthquakes, full texts of testimonies by seismic researchers, photographs of earthquake damage, and legislation addressing seismic safety in California, Alaska, Arkansas, and Midwestern states. Features preliminary reports from current and past quakes, covering social and economic impacts, emergency response, observations, and conclusions.
 
Consortium of US universities with research programs in seismology, established to acquire and distribute seismic data. Features a data management system which coordinates data inflow from seismic recording stations, a seismic monitor link for a quick view of current seismic activity, a SeismiQuery database allowing users to search for data by day, month, station or event, a help facility for new users, and a collection of graphics and information on recent earthquakes.
 
An introduction to helioseismology, which is the study of wave oscillations in the Sun and of the physical processes involved, in the same way that seismologists learn about the Earth's interior by monitoring waves caused by earthquakes. Temperature, composition, and motions deep in the Sun influence the oscillation periods and yield insights into conditions in the solar interior.
 
Research unit dedicated to research, education, and dissemination of technical information in earthquake engineering. Includes image and abstracts database.
 
Research group concerned with earthquakes and man
made seismic disturbances. A network of seismometers throughout Britain monitors seismic activity and provides the database for research and seismic hazard assessment - the prediction of ground motion parameters at the sites of vulnerable or high-consequence structures such as dams and nuclear power stations. Information on significant earthquakes is provided 24 hours per day to a consortium of industrial and Government departments.
