SEISMIC EXPERIMENT IN PATAGONIA AND ANTARCTICA (SEPA)


En Espanol (Universidad de Chile site)



The SEPA project is a two year deployment of broadband PASSCAL instruments in Chilean Patagonia, the South Shetland Islands, and the Antarctic Peninsula. It is a joint project involving Washington University, Universidad de Chile, and Bristol University (UK), and is funded by the U.S. Antarctic Program (NSF - Office of Polar Programs) and the Instituto Antartico Chileno (INACH). Ten broadband seismographs were deployed during January and February, 1997. This site contains a brief description of the project, station location maps, and a gallery of photos, including typical station layout, as well as plenty of penguins and seals.
