Waveform record for Japan’s Great Tohoku Earthquake (magnitude 9.1) from our seismological network.

Since 2013, we have installed more than a dozen seismic stations in Alberta, mainly in areas where earthquake activity has increased. These stations form our seismological network: the Regional Alberta Observatory for Earthquake Studies Network (RAVEN). Over this same time-period, we forged partnerships with other organizations creating robust seismic monitoring capabilities within the province. We are receiving data from over 100 seismic stations operated by eight seismic monitoring networks in Canada and the United States.
