Arrival at the remote field site

As part of AGAP, the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, designed GAMSEIS (Gamburtsev Antarctic Mountains Seismic Experiment) to determine what is driving the mountains upward and how they may have contributed to the formation of the East Antarctic Ice sheet.

Trillium Compact is available with an optional transport/installation case. The unique design provides space for the sensor and tripod deployment cradle (included with the case) which can be set securely into soil or onto an irregular rocky surface. The Trillium Compact is then set into the bowl-shaped arms of the cradle and leveled in seconds. Optional tripod cradle spike kits are also available for use in unconsolidated soil and sand deployments.

Nanometrics is pleased to announce a new generation in broadband seismometry.

Standing at just 128 mm (5.04”) tall with a diameter of only 90 mm (3.54”), Trillium Compact combines the superior performance of a broadband seismometer with the installation convenience of a rugged geophone. The instrument incorporates a symmetric triaxial force feedback sensor with a response flat to velocity from 120 seconds to 100Hz. Scientists no longer need to compromise on performance in applications demanding small, highly portable seismometers.

• Bandwidth -3 dB points at 120 s and 100Hz
• Clip level 26 mm/s fom 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz
• Extremely low power consumption of just 160 mW
• No mass lock, no mass centering required

Earthquakes. Volcanoes. Tsunamis. Global Warming. Nuclear Proliferation. Nanometrics is a world leader in the development of seismological instruments and networks used to monitor, investigate and help understand these global events.
