Installing Broadband Seismometers on the Islands Aligning the seismometer  | | Foreground shows recording equipment, background is the seismometer vault. San Cristobal, September, 1999. |
Pat Ryan gives Emilie Hooft Toomey a compass bearing, so as to line up the horizontal channels of the seismometer in the North-South, East-West directionds. Darwin Villagomez looks on.
Darwin joined our team for the deployment, at the time he was a student at the Instituto Geofisico, Escuela Politecnica, in Quito. Presently, Darwin is a graduate student at the University of Oregon and is analyzing the local seismicity data.
Several of our sites did have abundant, volcanic ash. This made for very quick digging and relatively deep installations.
