Research at UTIG Earthquake SeismologyUTIG has been active in earthquake seismology since 1972. Earthquake research is motivated in part by the concern to determine where active tectonic movement is taking place today. This involves obtaining accurate locations for small earthquakes and relating the pattern of these locations to the regional geology. UTIG scientists have often used their expertise in earthquakes and tectonics to answer questions about particular earthquakes and their implications. One recent instance was the 22 September 2003 earthquake in the Dominican Republic. Modeling Earth's Interior Seismic Inversions |
