Data Projects

Many of these studies have been released as USGS Open-File Reports.

The binary data are available via anonymous FTP.

Tables of station locations, event locations, ordered arrival lists, and trigger tables are available below. As the complete Open-File Reports become available on-line they will be shown below in bold face. The size of data available via FTP is shown in green. Prior to 1983 recordings in this project were made using Sprengnether DR100 digital event recorders.
