Our Long
Period
Lehman
seismometer
under
construction
was damaged
during the
earthquake

After the earthquake
3 broadband Caltech’s seismometers
were deployed
In Mexicali, one of them at Octavio
Lázaro’s home, the second at the Airport
and the third at UABC
Engineering Faculty in Ciudad Victoria
Collaboration UABC-CALTECH
We had problems for transmit the seismic
records after earthquake
we could not use the Internet, we solved
the problem using flash cards that we
sent using parcel service to Seismo Lab.

Results of
Radon
Research.
The zones
with high
Radon
concentration
are related
with clinical cases of lung
cancer.
In the future we
will need
monitoring
continuosly
222 Radon
emissions,
this task imply the use
of big amount of data
Because previously high
radon emission in some
cases are related to
ocurrence of earthquakes.

Geological faults research
Shortly we will be developing a project with
CICESE and CALTECH on Geological Faults
in the urban area of ​Mexicali and perhaps we
will need LIDAR data, that purpose imply
handle large amount of data, over all if we
will required information from different dates.

For future collaborations
We can help
We need your help
To discuss what really matters
To contribute to the development of
our Lab and for prepare us to use
