Location:
The site is located in the Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve in Stanford, California. It is the replacement installation for the STAN location and is operated cooperatively with Stanford University.

Geology:
Serpentine

Vault/Borehole conditions:
The vault is located in an east/west adit, 20' in length, constructed for the development of Searsville Dam (circa 1900). The instruments are located in an aluminum pressure tank on a concrete pier. Apporoximately 4 meters of overburden cover the adit. The datalogger and accessory equipment are located in front of the adit.

Data Availability:
BDSN waveforms and associated metadata are available at the Northern California Earthquake Data Center (NCEDC).

Several tools provide access to SEED format data at the NCEDC, both in terms of querying the archives and allowing data requests.

Help on using these tools is available.
