The Introduction of this website are as follow:

The University of Utah Seismograph Stations (UUSS) is a research, educational, and public-service entity within the University’s Department of Geology and Geophysics. UUSS operates a regional and urban seismic network of more than 200 stations serving the populations of Utah, eastern Idaho, and western Wyoming.

  • The first and foremost mission of UUSS is academic research. At the same time – because of its special facilities and expertise – UUSS carries a major burden to meet the needs and expectations of a host of users in Utah and the Intermountain region for earthquake information.

  • We work to understand earthquakes. (Our unique job is to gain a better scientific understanding of earthquakes in our region through seismological research.)

  • We educate and inform. (We’re part of the academic mainstream of the University of Utah and we share its institutional goals. We also have a fundamental responsibility, arising from our facilities, to be energetic “producers” of earthquake information.)

  • We serve. (Our profession and public funding give us the duty to help public officials and the general public deal with the threat of earthquakes.)

  • As a participant in the Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS), the University of Utah Seismograph Stations shares and helps pursue the nationwide mission of ANSS in Utah and the Intermountain West:
