Update 13 - Group Present at Burns Public Library PDF
Rick Carlson, Anita Grunder, and Randy Keller presented a summary of HLP project results to a general audience at the Burns Public Library on Sept. 16. The presentation allowed the HLP group both to show the residents of the HLP the exciting results coming from the project and to thank them for their many significant contributions that made the project a success.  The presentation can be found on the "Publications and Presentations" page.

September 9, 2008 PDF

Active seismic experiment goes off with a bang. A total of 67 people participated in the deployment of 2600 seismometers across the High Lava Plains (HLP). Sixteen two to three person teams drove across the HLP for two days burying seismometers every 800 meters along lines that spanned from Bend, OR, to Idaho and from John Day, OR, to Winnemucca, NV, with a concentration of instruments between Steens Mountain and Burns, OR. The seismometers were left in place for two days while 15 seismic sources were detonated across the area. All shots went as planned and almost all seismometers performed flawlessly, providing data that will allow a reconstruction of the structure of the the HLP crust.

September 1, 2008 PDF
The last of 108 broad-band seismometers was installed in the HLP--thanks to the many landowners and public land agencies who allowed access to their lands for station installation. These sensitive seismometers will stay in place for approximately two years recording distant earthquakes. Periodic servicing of the stations will continue through late 2009. All stations were serviced and data recovered shortly after the active experiment was completed.
