Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory (LDGO) currently operates a network of 38 short period seismic stations in the states of New York, New jersey and Vermont. It is part of the larger Northeastern United States Seismic Network (NEUSSN) operated by several university groups in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New England. These networks provide a wealth of data to study seismicity, earthquake hazards, earthquake source properties, tectonic processes, and crustal and upper mantle structure in the northeastern United States and adjacent parts of Canada. The LDGO network provides data for more specific studies of earthquake processes in New York State and adjacent areas. This report discusses results of research related to the operation of the network and also introduces current directions of research for future studies.
