Equipment

Computing Resources

We own and exclusively operate a 12-core server that is maintained by CSE-IT as well as various desktop work stations. For really big number crunching we use the Minnesota Super Computing Institute's Mesabi compute cluster.

Broadband Seismometers

The group owns and operates 16 Meridian Compact direct-burial broadband seismometers.

Seismic Refraction Equipment

We have a 24-channel Geometics SmartSeis, 16 geophones and ancillary equipment. This can be used for shallow refraction surveys. 

Seismic Nodes

We own and operate 10 3-component Zland nodes from Magseis-Fairfield. We use these mostly for shallow passive seismic imaging.
