- Descr: A gravity survey published in 2000 found unexpectedly deep
sub-basins below Reno, NV. Due to the potential for these deep basins
to trap and amplify earthquake ground motion, their existence and depth
must be confirmed by a second geophysical technique. A seismic refraction
survey of a geothermal resource 15 km south of the basins will allow
a line of 15 PASSCAL Texans to record the delays associated with the
basins.
