Arkansas Seismological Observatory

The State Agencies and Governmental Affairs Committee of the Arkansas House of Representatives has voted to send House Bill 1835 to the full House for vote.

HB1835 would establish The Arkansas Seismological Observatory. The seismic network operated by the Arkansas Seismological Observatory will initially consist of at least ten (10) stations installed at remote locations with the central recording station located on the campus of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. The complete monitoring network will be established over a five (5) year period to allow for technological upgrades so that state-of-the-art seismological equipment will be utilized appropriately throughout the network.
