Chart recorder
A chart recorder is an electromechanical device that records an electrical or mechanical input trend onto a piece of paper (the chart).
See Seismogram and Chart recorder
Earthquake
An earthquakealso called a quake, tremor, or tembloris the shaking of the Earth's surface resulting from a sudden release of energy in the lithosphere that creates seismic waves.
Explosion
An explosion is a rapid expansion in volume of a given amount of matter associated with an extreme outward release of energy, usually with the generation of high temperatures and release of high-pressure gases.
First break picking
In seismology, first-break picking is the detecting or picking the onset arrivals of refracted signals from all the signals received by receiver arrays and produced by a particular source signal generation.
See Seismogram and First break picking
Galvanometer
A galvanometer is an electromechanical measuring instrument for electric current.
See Seismogram and Galvanometer
Ground motion
Ground motion is the movement of the Earth’s surface from earthquakes or explosions.
See Seismogram and Ground motion
Linear seismic inversion
Inverse modeling is a mathematical technique where the objective is to determine the physical properties of the subsurface of an earth region that has produced a given seismogram.
See Seismogram and Linear seismic inversion
Michigan Technological University
Michigan Technological University (Michigan Tech, MTU, or simply Tech) is a public research university in Houghton, Michigan, United States, founded in 1885 as the Michigan Mining School, the first post-secondary institution in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Microseism
In seismology, a microseism is defined as a faint earth tremor caused by natural phenomena.
P wave
A P wave (primary wave or pressure wave) is one of the two main types of elastic body waves, called seismic waves in seismology.
S wave
In seismology and other areas involving elastic waves, S waves, secondary waves, or shear waves (sometimes called elastic S waves) are a type of elastic wave and are one of the two main types of elastic body waves, so named because they move through the body of an object, unlike surface waves.
Seismic wave
A seismic wave is a mechanical wave of acoustic energy that travels through the Earth or another planetary body.
See Seismogram and Seismic wave
Seismometer
A seismometer is an instrument that responds to ground displacement and shaking such as caused by quakes, volcanic eruptions, and explosions.
See Seismogram and Seismometer
University of South Carolina
The University of South Carolina (USC, South Carolina, or Carolina) is a public research university in Columbia, South Carolina.
See Seismogram and University of South Carolina
Vertical seismic profile
In geophysics, vertical seismic profile (VSP) is a technique of seismic measurements used for correlation with surface seismic data.
