Standing nearly on top of the Hayward Fault, the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory (BSL) provides robust hazard information while engaging in essential geophysical research. Throughout the BSL's long history of innovation (described below), beginning with the 1897 installation of the first seismograph in the western hemisphere, our commitment to probing the Earth's deepest secrets has remained unchanged... We conduct essential research on earthquakes and solid earth processes while collecting and delivering high quality geophysical data... We provide robust earthquake and hazard information including real-time alerts to the public, in collaboration with our partners.
