WELCOME TO NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY SEISMIC RECORDING STATION WEBSITE
In 1998, through the generous support from of alumni and friends of the Northeastern University 's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northeastern University in Boston , a Seismic Recording Station (NUSRS) was established.
The mission of the station includes:
  1. Gathering and disseminating seismic ground motion data,
  2. Supporting the education and research programs in earthquake engineering at Northeastern University,
  3. Increasing K-12 students' interest in science and engineering,
  4. Heightening public awareness of earthquake hazard.
The station has four general components: a weak motion system that records long- and short-period motions worldwide, a strong motion array, portable triaxial accelerometers, and a multimedia center that displays earthquake records and as well as serves as an outreach and public education facility. The purpose of this website is to present an overview of the Seismic Recording Station and provide details of the instrumentation with a primary focus on the strong motion components of the facility.
