| Stations - Group B | |
| 9:20 - 9:55 | EQ spatial analysis using GIS (BB) |
| Outcome: To explore world distribution of Eqs, Magnitude and depth patterns, and relations to plate boundaries | |
| 9:55 - 10:05 | Break |
| 10:05 - 10:40 | S-P Activity (MH) |
| Outcome: To develop the ability to identify S and P waves in a three-component seismogram and use this information in conjunction with a travel time curve to locate the distance of the epicenter from a seismic station | |
| All Participants | |
| 10:40 - 11:30 | Local Seismicity and Current Research Highlights /Bill Steele (BS) , University of Washington |
