Featuring Dr. Robert Nigbor
In this session, special guest speaker Dr. Robert Nigbor will discuss the use of seismometers and seismic data systems for short-term measurements of vibrations related to construction, transportation, sensitive equipment, and experimental modal analysis.
This informative webinar + Q&A will be full of real-life case studies of non-seismic applications.
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.
Featuring Dr. Atilla Ansal, Kinemetrics, Inc.
Seismic microzonation is a methodology for estimating the response of soil layers under earthquake excitations and relative variations of earthquake ground motion characteristics on the ground surface for a selected area.
In this session, special guest speaker Dr. Atilla Ansal will walk us through the use of this methodology to provide input for urban planning for the assessment of the vulnerability of the building stock and earthquake preparedness. Microzonation requires realistic estimation of regional seismicity, local earthquake hazard, and detailed information of local soil conditions. It is probabilistic evaluation for all possible future earthquake in assessing the probability of building damage.
Featuring Dr. Derek Skolnik, Kinemetrics, Inc.
In this special session, our panel of experts will review the knowledge base of 28 on-demand webinars created in 2020 Kinemetrics Information Series.
Dr. Derek Skolnik will host Dr. Mathias Franke, Dr. Lani Oncescu, and Mauricio Ciudad-Real in a discussion of topics across four categories: Products, Seismology, Earthquake Engineering, and Business Continuity.
This informative webinar + Q&A will provide a synopsis for each category, discuss what we learned, and provide information on how best to utilize these resources in your own projects.
Featuring Dr. Mathias Franke, Kinemetrics, Inc.
The Italian Civil Protection Department (DPC) is the owner of the 500-station national Italian strong-motion network (Rete Accelerometrica Naczionale – RAN). In a move to improve the network’s station availability, DPC outsourced the network’s maintenance and operation in 2012 to Kinemetrics’ Open Systems & Services Division (OSS).
In this session, Dr. Mathias Franke will cover the RAN from station design to information products, from daily tasks to network performance, and from people to software.
This informative webinar + Q&A will provide an example of how OSS develops solutions, manages projects, and continually delivers value to clients.
Featuring Dr. Filipe Magalhães
In this session, Dr. Filipe Magalhães will deliver a detailed overview of several dynamic monitoring programs developed with Kinemetrics equipment, including research oriented and consultancy applications on bridges and research projects on wind turbines.
This informative webinar + Q&A will describe the implemented monitoring layouts and the presentation of the developed monitoring software. Relevant results that enhance the value of structural health monitoring will also be revealed.
Featuring Professor Julian J. Bommer
In this session, Professor Julian J. Bommer will describe the development of a ground-motion model as an integral component of a seismic risk model for induced earthquakes in the Groningen gas field in the Netherlands.
This informative webinar + Q&A places particular focus on the installation, characterization and operation of ground-motion recording networks in the field, including some unexpected challenges encountered along the way.
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.
Featuring Dr. Frank Vernon
How do the world’s largest seismic networks manage data acquisition and processing? They use Antelope!
In this session, Dr. Frank Vernon will provide an overview of the entire Antelope platform, including the background of Antelope, principles and innovations the platform brings us to today, and potential directions for the future. This presentation will discuss real world examples from a variety of seismic networks and experiments.
The Antelope Environmental Monitoring Platform delivers data acquisition, analysis, and management via a comprehensive set of real-time environmental monitoring data and processed information.
This informative webinar + Q&A will help operators, researchers and engineers understand the opportunities provided by the Antelope platform.
