in structures such as buildings, dams, and bridges and in free-field sites. These data provide the basis for studies of large-scale
<span class="spelle">seismogenic</span> failure, for studies of crustal and localized wave propagation, for mitigation of earthquake hazards through improved earthquake resistant design, and for improved emergency response through rapid notification of shaking
