RFSB - Richmond Field Station, Richmond, CA, USA

Location

RFSB is located at the Richmond Field Station of UC Berkeley, a few miles north of the campus.

This station serves both as a borehole site in the Hayward fault network and as a surface installation of an accelerometer in the Berkeley Digital Seismic Network.

Network

Berkeley Digital Seismic Network (BK)
Northern Hayward Fault Network (BK)

Geology

Shale

Borehole Conditions

The HFN seismometer package is deployed at a depth of 91 meters in the borehole. The accelerometer is installed in a barrel at the surface.
