University of West Indies Seismic Research Centre




There is a Seismic Research Centre at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica, as would be expected because of the high seismicity along the Caribbean tectonic plate.  I even applied for a job there years ago. There is not the easy access to real-time seismograms that other sites give, but there is information about the region, earthquake and volcanic hazards, and some information related to the Haiti earthquake.

Let's hope the education and outreach portion of this site can be augmented.

  1. Hi Rob, please note that the Seismic Research Centre is actually based in Trinidad NOT Jamaica - see www.uwiseismic.com, for more details.
