- Abstract
- The second Guidelines for Seismometer Testing Workshop (GST2) met in Albuquerque in May 2005, to elicit a comprehensive set of guidelines for the testing and specification of seismological and earthquake-engineering inertial sensors. The USGS and ANSS plan to use these guidelines for purposes of testing and characterizing such sensors, both in procuring them and monitoring their long-term viability. The objective of GST2 was effectively the same as that of the first Standards for Seismometer Testing workshop in 1989 (GST1) so long as the word standards is changed to guide-lines, to wit, to develop a set of recommended testing and reporting (guidelines) that may be used by seismometer manufacturers and instrumentation users.
