A collection of historic seismic instrumentation photographs at the Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory A collection of historic seismic instrumentation photographs at the Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory
The Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory (ASL) has preserved a collection of photographs of seismographic equipment, stations, and drawings used by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) in the early-to-mid-twentieth century. The photographs were transferred to ASL from the US Department of Commerce building in Washington DC after ASL became established as a USC&GS facility...

The Albuquerque Seismological Lab WWSSN film chip preservation project The Albuquerque Seismological Lab WWSSN film chip preservation project
From 1961 to 1996, the Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory (ASL) installed and operated the World‐Wide Standardized Seismograph Network (WWSSN). Each station within the network consisted of three Benioff short‐period sensors and three Sprengnether Press‐Ewing long‐period sensors along with recording, timing, and calibration equipment. Approximately 3.7 million single‐day record film...

Do low-cost seismographs perform well enough for your network? An overview of laboratory tests and field observations of the OSOP Raspberry Shake 4D Do low-cost seismographs perform well enough for your network? An overview of laboratory tests and field observations of the OSOP Raspberry Shake 4D
Seismologists have recently begun utilizing low-cost nodal sensors in dense deployments to sample the seismic wavefield at unprecedented spatial resolution. Earthquake Early Warning Systems (EEWS) and other monitoring networks (e.g. wastewater injection) would additionally benefit from network densification; however, current nodal systems lack power systems and/or real-time data...

Observations of rotational motions from local earthquakes using two temporary portable sensors in Waynoka, Oklahoma Observations of rotational motions from local earthquakes using two temporary portable sensors in Waynoka, Oklahoma
Characterizing rotational motions from earthquakes at local distances has the potential to improve earthquake engineering and seismic gradiometry by better characterizing the complete seismic wavefield. Applied Technology Associates (ATA) has developed a proto‐seismic magnetohydrodynamic (SMHD) three‐component rotational rate sensor. We deploy two ATA rotational rate sensors at a...

Sensor suite: The Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory Instrumentation Testing Suite Sensor suite: The Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory Instrumentation Testing Suite
To standardize parameters used in seismometer testing and calibration and to make these algorithms accessible to the seismological community, we have developed a new seismometer testing software package called Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory (ASL) Sensor Test Suite. This software is written in Java and makes use of Seismological Exchange for Earthquake Data (SEED) format. Our goal...

Seismic sensors record a hurricane’s roar Seismic sensors record a hurricane’s roar
The instruments installed at Global Seismographic Network (GSN) stations were designed to record Earth’s vibrations, but they sometimes pick up sound waves from unexpected sources. For example, newly installed infrasound sensors at a station on Puerto Rico recorded the passage of Hurricane Maria on 20 September 2017.
