Our archives contain analog and digital data recorded over a 17 year period from CERI's regional seismograph networks composed of up to 30 stations in the New Madrid seismic zone and the Southern Appalachian seismic zone. With help from the U.S.G.S . Seismic sensors, communications, digital analysis, and archiving facilities are being upgraded. CERI shares data with the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colorado, and with regional centers at St. Louis University , Virginia Tech , the University of Kentucky, the University of North Carolina , through satellite,microwave, and Internet communications.
Researchers also make heavy use of seismic data resources available on the Internet.
Equipment for first-order geodetic surveying is used in neotectonic studies and to measure contemporary Earth strain. CERI is currently installing a permanent 3-site network of Trimble 4000 SSE GPS satellite receivers observing continuously in the New Madrid seismic zone. The U.S. Geological Survey office at CERI has a Sokkia SET5A electronic total station. The University's superb new Ned R. McWherter Library is nearby.
