Where are seismographs currently stationed in Maine?
As of July 2006, there are four active stations in Maine, one in southern Maine at Colby College in Waterville, one in northern Maine at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, one in eastern Maine at the University of Maine at Machias, and one in central Maine at Peaks-Kenny State Park in Dover Foxcroft. They each have an internet connection that allows direct access of the digital data record from Weston Observatory of Boston College, and from the National Earthquake Information Center in Colorado. The status of the network is described in quarterly reports of the New England Seismic Network. The Weston web site has a map showing the locations of their seismic stations in New England, including their three in Maine. The seismic station at Peaks Kenny State Park was installed by the U.S. Geological Survey in July, 2006, as a “backbone” station of the Advanced National Seismic System. Certain types of industries, such as blasting companies, may deploy portable seismographs around work
