POSSIBLE ENHANCEMENT OF UABC’S CROSS BORDER COLLABORATIONS IN SEISMOLOGY, SEISMIC AND FAULT MAPPING USING GEOPHYSICAL DATA AND LIDAR OCTAVIO LAZARO MANCILLA Laboratorio de Sismología y Geofísica Aplicada, Instituto de Ingeniería, UABC Mexicali

Instituto de Ingenieria, UABC After earthquake Mw 7. 2 April 4, 2010 Seismological and Applied Geophysics Laboratory opened in January 2010 after earthquake Laboratorio de Sismología y Geofísica Aplicada, Instituto de Ingeniería, UABC Mexicali 2

Our Long Period Lehman seismometer under construction was damaged during the earthquake Laboratorio de Sismología y Geofísica Aplicada, Instituto de Ingeniería, UABC Mexicali 3

After the earthquake 3 broadband Caltech’s seismometers were deployed In Mexicali, one of them at Octavio Lázaro’s home, the second at the Airport and the third at UABC Engineering Faculty in Ciudad Victoria Collaboration UABC-CALTECH We had problems for transmit the seismic records after earthquake we could not use the Internet, we solved the problem using flash cards that we sent using parcel service to Seismo Laboratorio de Sismología y Geofísica Aplicada, Instituto de Ingeniería, UABC Mexicali 4

Results of Radon Research. The zones with high Radon concentration are related with clinical cases of lung cancer. In the future we will need monitoring continuosly 222 Radon emissions, this task imply the use of big amount of data Because previously high radon emission in some cases are related to ocurrence of earthquakes. .

Geological faults research Shortly we will be developing a project with CICESE and CALTECH on Geological Faults in the urban area of Mexicali and perhaps we will need LIDAR data, that purpose imply handle large amount of data, over all if we will required information from different dates.

For future collaborations We can help We need your help To discuss what really matters To contribute to the development of our Lab and for prepare us to use BDBN Laboratorio de Sismología y Geofísica Aplicada, Instituto de Ingeniería, UABC Mexicali 17

Thank you very much Laboratorio de Sismología y Geofísica Aplicada, Instituto de Ingeniería, UABC Mexicali 18
