Lamont hosts the Ocean-bottom Seismometer Instrument Facility, which designs, builds and operates a fleet of 60 seismometers. These instruments are dropped on the seafloor at sites around the world where they record earthquakes for a year before being recovered. An instrument will be on display to demonstrate how we meet the challenges of pressure, corrosion, bio-fouling, and trawling to detect and record micrometer-scale seafloor movements.
