The incumbent will work with appropriate faculty to develop suitable and informative web pages that profile departmental teaching and research. The staff member has the primary responsibility for the operation of the Department's seismograph systems, and presentation of related seismological information. This will entail maintenance and operation of the Department's digital and analog seismograph systems, archiving records, and providing advice on system upgrades and enhancements.
Operations require use of the seismic software that is part of the digital seismic system.
The staff member will analyze the records to identify phases of recorded events, compare predicted and observed arrival times at UWM for significant events, and archive this information along with pertinent source data.
