About Us
UUSS operates seismograph stations in the Utah region and in neighboring parts of the Intermountain Seismic Belt (ISB) in eastern Idaho and western Wyoming (map of stations)
We are based at the University of Utah and are part of the Department of Geology and Geophysics
Funding
Our core funding comes from the State of Utah for earthquake monitoring , research, and education and outreach in the Utah region.
We also receive major funding from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)—as part of ANSS—for regional and urban seismic monitoring of the seismically hazardous Wasatch Front urban corridor of north-central Utah as well as neighboring areas of the ISB.
A separate and minor part of our funding from the USGS Volcano Hazards Program supports earthquake monitoring of the Yellowstone region as part of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory.
