Location:

SVIN is located in San Rafael, California, under the auspices of the St. Vicent's School for Boys. This site is known as SFSTV in the USGS Low Frequency Network.

Geology:

TBD

Vault/Borehole conditions:

The MiniPBO borehole was installed on 08/29/2002. The strainmeter was installed at 527.0 ft and the seismometer package at 500.0 ft depth. This figure shows the location of equipment in the borehole.
