Kansas-Nebraska Seismicity Studies Using the Kansas-Nebraska Microearthquake Network. Final Report.

摘要

The Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) operates a 15 station seismograph network with stations located in northeast Kansas and southeast Nebraska. The network is supported in part by funding from the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The report discusses operation of the network and summarizes the results of research that allows a better understanding of the seismicity of the region and the link between the seismicity and the tectonic setting of the region. Results from a crustal seismic refraction survey along a 500km long line are discussed in Appendix B to the report.
