Research Objectives:
The Dry Valleys Seismic Project monitors regional and global seismicity. This station is an element in the Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC) Southern Network (ASN). The network provides near real time data from nine locations within the southern hemisphere. The data is telemetered to the National Data Center in Florida and is available to the international scientific community.
Every year project team members perform seismic system preventive maintenance and scheduled maintenance of the power systems.
