NORSAR Bear Island Array Deployment

Featuring Jon Magnus Christensen

In this session, special guest speaker Jon Magnus Christensen will provide a detailed overview of the NORSAR Bear Island Array Deployment.

Through the EPOS Norway project NORSAR has installed a 6 element seismic array on Bear Island, a small island between mainland Norway and Spitsbergen. The goal of the installation was to improve seismic monitoring of the Svalbard region, mid-Atlantic ridges and Barents Sea. Due to strict environmental restrictions the original plans had to be revised several times and a complementary array in Hornsund on Spitsbergen with a similar configuration is planned.

This informative webinar + Q&A will focus on the deployment at Bear Island, preliminary results as well as the plans for the Hornsund installation.

The Rockhound Platform – Installation & Operations

Featuring Dennis Pumphrey, Kinemetrics, Inc.

Rockhound is a software platform designed to implement real time data acquisition from digitizers and perform vital functions based upon that data to meet the needs of the end user.

In this session, Dennis Pumphrey will cover two of our most-requested topics. He will provide a live demonstration outlining the installation of Rockhound, and the operation of RockMonitor!

First, he set up RockMonitor from scratch and configure multiple Rock units to demonstrate remote configuration, file retrieval, and status monitoring. Second, Dennis will set up a PC-based installation of Rockhound, demonstrating the simplicity of connecting to digitizers and the creation of a PC-based continuous recorder.

This informative webinar + Q&A is a Must-See for operators, researchers, and engineers interested in the world-class Rockhound platform.

Qantix Q8 – Introducing the Most Capable Seismic Data Acquisition System

Featuring Dr. Edelvays Spassov, Kinemetrics, Inc.

In this session, Dr. Edelvays Spassov will introduce the ultra-low powered, high-resolution Qantix Q8 seismic system.

The Q8 is the newest member of the Quanterra® family of ultra-high resolution data acquisition systems at ultra-low power consumption. Small in size and volume the Q8 is designed for “plug’n play” into existing Q330-based networks or portable deployments and offers the same reliability, extraordinary temperature stability and data redundancy.

This informative webinar + Q&A will help engineers, researchers, and operators understand what the future of data acquisition looks like.

Seismic Monitoring and Building Code Compliance with the iCOBI 3 System

Featuring Narek Abrahamian, Kinemetrics, Inc.

Seismic monitoring systems provide valuable data and information on the behavior of buildings leading to improved understanding and better design codes.

In this session, Narek Abrahamian will discuss the reasons many municipalities (e.g. City of Los Angeles, CA USA) require seismic instrumentation or offer benefits such as reduced inspection time as part of a building occupancy resumption program (e.g. BORP San Francisco, CA USA). He will share how the iCOBI 3 system fulfills these needs and more.

This informative webinar + Q&A will provide engineers, building managers, and emergency management professionals detailed information on how best to approach seismic building code compliance.
