Installation of a St. Louis University broadband seismic station in the SIUC Seismic Observatory (Parkinson Lab basement on the SIUC campus) was completed on Feb. 19, 1999. A three component sensor records the vertical component as well as the north and east oriented horizontal components of seismic events. The seismometer is wrapped inside the foam insulation on the concrete pier as shown in the foreground of the picture above.
