- Location:
-
BRK is located on the campus of UC Berkeley
in Haviland Hall.
Over the years, recording at 4 separate sites on campus have used
the station name BRK - the Student Observatory (beginning in 1887),
Bacon Hall, Doe Library, Haviland Hall, and McCone Hall.
BRK was one of the original sites for the Wood-Anderson seismographs deployed in 1930. The Wood-Andersons were operated at this site until they were relocated to BKS in 1962.
- Geology:
-
Jurassic/Cretaceous Franciscan sandstone
- Vault/Borehole conditions:
-
The instruments are sited in the sub-basement of
Haviland Hall
(a 2-story building) on the UC Berkeley
campus. The piers were constructed when the building was built
and were used over a number of years for various seismic
instruments. In 1962, the Byerly vault was constructed and most of the
critical instrumentation was relocated to BKS. The
Seismological Laboratory decided to re-occupy the
BRK site in 1994, in order to record data for
comparison with historical paper records.
This site is in an occupied building and is frequently noisy (particularly at high frequencies) during working hours. Although data acquisition began in 1994, only selected events were saved. Archiving of the data as a BDSN site began on 8/16/1996.

Several tools provide access to SEED format data at the NCEDC, both in terms of querying the archives and allowing data requests.- Querying the archives
- Requesting data by channel and time
- Requesting data by event
Help on using these tools is available.
