Instituto de Ingenieria, UABCAfter earthquake Mw 7.2April 4, 2010

Seismological and Applied Geophysics Laboratory opened in January 2010 after earthquake

Our Long Period Lehman seismometer under constructionwas damagedduring the earthquake

After the earthquake 3 broadband Caltech’s seismometers were deployedIn Mexicali, one of them at Octavio Lázaro’s home, the second at the Airport and the third at UABCEngineering Faculty in Ciudad Victoria

Collaboration UABC-CALTECH

We had problems for transmit the seismic records after earthquakewe could not use the Internet, we solved the problem using flash cards that we sent using parcel service to Seismo Lab.

Results of Radon Research.

The zoneswith highRadon concentrationare relatedwith clinical cases of lung cancer.

In the future we will needmonitoringcontinuosly 222 Radonemissions, this task imply the useof big amount of dataBecause previously high radon emission in some cases are related to ocurrence of earthquakes..

Geological faults research

Shortly we will be developing a project with CICESE and CALTECH on Geological Faults in the urban area of Mexicali and perhaps we will need LIDAR data, that purpose imply handle large amount of data, over all if we will required information from different dates.

We can help

We need your helpTo discuss what really matters

To contribute to the development of our Lab and for prepare us to use BDBN

For future collaborations
