	Pacific Northwest Seismic Network
		The PNSN is operated jointly by the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, and Oregon State University, and is funded by the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Department of Energy, and the State of Washington.
		PNSN data help scientists understand Pacific Northwest earthquake hazards, predict volcanic eruptions at Mount St. Helens, and determine the location of faults and volcanic magma chambers.
		The PNSN is developing the capability to detect the earliest earthquake signals arriving at the coast and immediately broadcast warnings to tsunami warning centers.

	Earthquakes in the Cascadia Region
		The Cascadia Region, or the Pacific Northwest, as it is also called, which encompasses British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Northern California, is a very seismically active area of the world.
		It was prepared by the Pacific Northwest Seismograph Network (PNSN), which operates seismograph stations and locates earthquakes in Washington.
		As residents of the Pacific Northwest, we should be prepared for the consequences of larger earthquakes that could result in damage to the transportation systems and lifelines.

	Slow earthquakes recorded in the Pacific Northwest : IRIS Education & Outreach
		Beginning in mid February, 2003, the Pacific Northwest Seismograph Network started observing strange, long-lasting, weak signals on seismic station in the north Puget Sound area.
		Scientists at the Pacific Geoscience Center in British Columbia report observing these same signals on their stations and, in fact, have observed these sorts of tremors in previous years.
		The Pacific Northwest Geodetic Array (PANGA) has a processing lab at Central Washington University where time series from some stations can be seen.

	2003 Summary: AG0011: Pacific Northwest Seismograph Network Operations
		Within the network area, 1,836 earthquakes were located west of 120.5 degrees west longitude (including 550 in the general vicinity of Mount St. Helens, which has not had a magmatic eruption since 1986), and 286 east of 120.5 degrees west longitude.
		PNSN stations in southern and central Oregon are maintained by the University of Oregon under Cooperative Agreement 01HQAG0012.
		A PNSN seismologist is always available on-call, and our standard procedure is to respond to pager messages from our automatic earthquake detection process (initiated for any earthquake within our network of magnitude 2.9 or larger), or calls from Washington or Oregon emergency management agencies or the UW police.

	Earthquake Preparedness Information
		Soon after the installation of the seismograph was complete, it received its first "test" as it recorded the magnitude 7.2 earthquake off the coast of northern California on June 15, 2005.
		Within minutes, data from the SOU seismograph as well as others in the array were used to generate a tsunami warning, resulting in the evacuation of Oregon and northern California coastal areas.
		Data from the seismograph will also be a significant addition to classroom activities and discussions on earthquakes in geology and environmental studies courses as well as a new research tool for geology students and faculty.

	"A Whole Lot o' Shakin' Goin' On"
		Since the facility was founded in late 1969, the seismic data gathered and analyzed at the Lab have provided geologists with a picture of the geologic faults in the earth's crust in the Northwest, many of which were previously unknown or uncharacterized.
		Within the Pacific Northwest region, the Seismology Lab serves as a catalyst for bringing community, business, and government leaders together, not just to foster awareness of seismic hazards, but to promote critical planning for emergency situations that may require cooperation between these sectors.
		Qamar explains that before about the 1970s, scientists believed that most of the largest earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest were deep quakes, similar to those that occurred in the Puget Sound area in 1949 and 1965.

	Gorda Ridge Eruption April 2001- Land seismic arrays
		PNSN data help scientists understand Pacific Northwest earthquake hazards, predict volcanic eruptions at Cascade volcanoes, and determine the location of faults and volcanic magma chambers.
		The PNSN by itself is not able to determine the location and magnitude of these offshore events as precisely as it can earthquakes located on shore.
		Between April 4-5, the PNSN has recorded approximately 18 moderate sized earthquakes in the offshore region where the Gorda ridge eruption has occurred.
