Historical catalog of southern Great Basin earthquakes 1868-1978

Seismicity in the Vicinity of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, for the Period October 1, 2004 to September 30, 2006

“…Figure 8. Historical catalog covering 1868 through July 1978 (Meremonte and Rogers;1987). Figure 13.…”

“…Depth 7 (for reference, Figure 6 shows local geographic features), and these will be compared with the historical and more recent periods of site characterization monitoring. Historical earthquakes (prior to Yucca Mountain characterization) have been compiled by Meremonte and Rogers (1987) and are shown in Figure 8. From August 1978 through September 1995 earthquake monitoring was conducted by the USGS, and later (post 10/1/1992) by NSL, with a regional, analog-telemetry seismic network consisting primarily of vertical component low-dynamic range seismographs.…”

Volcanism Studies: Final Report for the Yucca Mountain Project

“…Horizontal component instruments were deployed at selected stations in 1984. This network, called the southern Great Basin seismograph network (SGBSN) (Rogers et al, 1981(Rogers et al, , 1983Mermonte and Rogers, 1987;Gomberg, 1991aGomberg, , 1991bHarmsen and Bufe, 1992), was designed to locate and study properties of earthquakes for a region containing tectonic features of possible significance to seismic risk assessment for the YMR. Tectonic features of regional interest (not all of which are significant for seismic risk assessment for Yucca Mountain) were reviewed by .…”

Report on seismologic field investigations of the 29 June 1992 Little Skull Mountain Earthquake

“…Historically, written records of reported earthquakes in the southern Great Basin (SGB) began emerging around 1860. Since that time, the number of intermediate to major earthquakes has been small in the vicinity of the PRS (Meremonte and Rogers, 1987;Harmsen and Bufe, 1991). Table 1 shows the frequency of earthquakes > ML=5.0 within 150 km of Yucca Mountain.…”
