STUDY OF SEISMICITY, MECHANICS OF FAULTING AND CRUSTAL STRUCTURE WITHIN THE BASIN AND RANGE AND ADJOINING PROVINCES, WITH EMPHASIS ON SEISMIC INFORMATION PROVIDED BY NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS.
Abstract
This report covers the accomplishments of the seismological research program at the University of Nevada, for the period 1 May 1964 to 30 April 1966, under grant No. AF-AFOSR-646-64. Sections of the report treat (1) the establishment of new seismographic stations in the Nevada area; (2) development of new field instruments for studies of small- and micro-earthquakes; (3) publication of a Nevada earthquake catalog and epicenter map for the period 1852-1961; (4) automation of routine seismological analysis; (5) focal depth studies; (6) study of the structure of Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii; (7) seismicity studies; and (8) microearthquake studies. During the grant period, research was begun and/or completed which resulted in 3 graduate theses, a published map, a field trip guide, 7 abstracts of papers presented at scientific meetings, and 5 papers published in scientific journals.
