The Seismology Research Centre undertakes a range of research and consulting work in the application of earthquake seismology to geological and engineering problems. Almost all of this work is on a local or regional scale, rather than a global scale. It includes using dense local seismograph networks for aftershock studies of large earthquakes, and for precise location of earthquakes about dams (especially reservoir triggered earthquakes).
