91³Ô¹ÏÍø

The seismology program at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø has interests in seismic wave propagation with extension of seismological observations to high frequencies and in deep boreholes including mining related phenomenology. Inverse theory is used to process the seismic data. Seismological models are developed to explain earthquakes and industrial blasts. New designs of advanced seismic instruments and observatories are considered. Developmental work at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø also consists of seismic and acoustic array design and deployment including the TXAR (Texas), NVAR (Nevada) seismo-acoustic arrays. This deployment is related to the seismic verification of nuclear arms-control treaties.

The Hamilton Visiting Scholar program brings noted geophysics researchers to 91³Ô¹ÏÍø to present lectures and interact with the students and faculty.
