This fall, DEMA employees were trained in new and existing tools by staff from the Delaware Geological Survey (DGS) and the Center for Environmental Monitoring and Analysis (CEMA), both part of UD’s College of Earth, Ocean and Environment.
The seismic instruments located at the Milford, DE location were adopted by DGS from the Earthscope Transportable Array, which consists of a network of 400 high-quality, portable broadband seismometers that are being placed in temporary sites across the United States. DGS adopted two of these Earthscope stations, P60A in Greenville, DE and Q61A in Milford, DE. This program provided an outstanding opportunity for Delaware to enhance its seismic monitoring capabilities in the future, and upgrade current antiquated equipment.
