This book commemorates the 100th anniversary of the seismographic stations at the University of California at Berkeley, the oldest continuously operating stations in the Western Hemisphere. Twenty scholarly papers presented at the symposium are gathered in this book, which covers subjects of past, present, and future seismological interest. The papers within this volume fall into three categories: (1) past and future development of the seismological observatory, (2) crustal tectonic movement and the distribution of earthquake foci, and (3) analysis and interpretation of observatory data. In addition to providing an historical document of the seismographic stations' first 100 years, this volume serves as a compendium of current observatory practice and offers a glimpse into the future of seismology.
