Partial Support of the International Seismological Centre

这笔拨款将为国际地震中心的运作提供大约20%的支持，该中心与英国雷丁大学合作，是世界上大约1850个站点的地震数据储存库。这些数据被用来计算每年大约36800次地震和爆炸的震源。该服务代表了最完整的地震事件发生来源，事件位置和原始相位数据是研究地球结构、地震危险性和统计的主要资源。这项研究是国家减少地震危害计划的一个组成部分。* * * ? ?

9417389 Hughes This grant is to provide approximately 20% of the support for the operations of the International Seismological Centre, in cooperation with the University of Reading, UK, which is the world's repository for seismic data from about 1,850 stations world-wide. These data are used to compute hypocenters for approximately 36,800 earthquakes and explosions per year. This service represents the most complete source of seismic event occurrences available, and the event locations and raw phase data are a major resource for researchers for structure of the earth and for seismic hazard and statistics. This research is a component of the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program. *** ??
