Overview

Seismology has a long tradition at UC Berkeley, beginning in 1887 with the installation of seismometers at the Student Observatory and at Lick Observatory by Edward S. Holden, professor of astronomy and President of the University. From these two observatories, the seismic network at UC Berkeley has grown over the last century to include nearly 50 sites in California and southern Oregon. Today, the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory is involved in a wide range of geophysical monitoring and research.
