DANT - Paynes Creek, CA, USA

We operate broadband and borehole stations under the network code BK. The Berkeley Digital Seismic Network (BDSN) is a regional network of very broadband and strong motion seismic stations designed to monitor regional seismic activity as well as provide high quality data. The Berkeley borehole stations have borehole geophones or other seismic sensors and may have other geophysical instrumentation.

Location

Site was located on private property near Dantuma Place, CA

This station was installed in October 2012 by USArray personnel as part of the Earthscope Travelling Array Cascadia Initiative funded through the National Science Foundation with money from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. When the Cascadia Initiative project ended 2016, the BSL adopted this station. It operated as a BDSN station from November 2016 to June 2024.
