Requirement For An Advanced National Seismic System

An assessment of the status, needs, and associated costs of seismic monitoring in the U.S. It sets down the requirement for an effective, nat. seismic monitoring strategy and an advanced system linking nat., regional, and urban monitoring networks. Seismic monitoring is vital to meet the Nation's needs for timely and accurate information used in reducing the loss of life and property from earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. Chapters: assessment of existing systems and networks; overview of an Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS), and infrastructure requirements; information products and services; and action items for an ANSS. Illustrated.

Characteristics of Hawaiian Volcanoes establishes a benchmark for the currrent understanding of volcanism in Hawaii, and the articles herein build upon the elegant and pioneering work of Dutton, Jagger, Steams, and many other USGS and academic scientists. Each chapter synthesizes the lessons learned about a specific aspect of volcanism in Hawaii, based largely o continuous observation of eruptive activity and on systematic research into volcanic and earthquake processes during HVO's first 100 years.
