The
Seismological Laboratory at Caltech has a long tradition in earthquake
science and is actively involved in the California Integrated Seismic
Network (CISN)
-- one of the most advanced seismographic networks in the world. The
Lab also runs an automatic moment tensor determination for large events
around the world. In addition our scientists have pioneered the imaging
of the earthquake rupture process. The Seismo Lab takes a multidisciplinary
approach to earthquake science with strong collaborative efforts involving
various groups (including INSAR and Theoretical
and Computational Seismology). Collaborative research is
also conducted between the Seismo Lab
and the Graduate Aeronautics
Laboratory aimed at connecting earthquake seismology and
fracture mechanics.
