The Rabaul Earthquake Location and Caldera Structure (RELACS) Program : post-survey data processing : a component of the PNG-Australia Volcanological Services Support (VSS) Project funded by AusAID

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

To achieve the RELACS Program's aim of improving the capabilities of the Rabaul Volcanological Observatory to locate and interpret volcano-related earthquake activity near Rabaul, a program of seismic field observation was undertaken in the Rabaul area by a consortium of institutions with significant experience in seismic work, viz AGSO, ANU, and the Universities of Hokkaido and Wisconsin. This Record describes post survey data processing of RELACS field data undertaken at the ANU, the University of Hokkaido and AGSO 1998-99. It also includes CDs of data files containing information on seismic recording stations, seismic shots, some earthquake locations, the arrival times of seismic waves, and seismic record files from stations in the international SUDS format.
