Nevada Seismo Lab

Two #earthquakes (magnitudes 4.3 and 5.2) occurred near Silver Springs today at 1:15am and 1:18am! You can see the aftershock rate pick up after those events on this #seismogram from station PWRL. PWRL was installed April 15th, the day after the 5.7, to monitor aftershocks.

Had a great time at University of Nevada Day at @washoecounty. We got to talk to county employees about #earthquake and #wildfire monitoring and show Luna a seismometer!

If you're in N. Nevada you probably felt or at least heard about the magnitude 5.7 earthquake on Monday evening. Check out our video summary of the event and aftershocks on our Instagram: tinyurl.com/mrymdky9

Thank you @Pres_Sandoval, we're always proud to represent the Pack!

Nevada is one step closer to having @USGS_ShakeAlert earthquake early warning

@LibertyUtil_CA is sponsoring several fire cameras in the Tahoe Basin. Camera maintenance is expensive, and the support from Liberty Utilities will help keep the cameras around the Jewel of the Sierra operating to protect those communities. unr.edu/nevada-today/n…

Events like this underscore the importance of adding Nevada to the ShakeAlert program to ensure we can provide the fastest and most accurate earthquake alerts for Nevadans.

The warning for an M5.9 earthquake near Dayton, NV this morning was an incorrect alert issued by the USGS ShakeAlert program. None of the stations in the Nevada Seismological Laboratory network detected any large earthquakes in Nevada this morning.

Earthquake Roundup for Sept 16 - Nov 13, 2025. We have 744 located earthquakes and the largest was a Mw 3.8. We are still watching the Battle Mountain area and seeing some newer clusters of activity in Central Nevada learn more in this Roundup Video: tinyurl.com/5c7w5jbr

Many of our fire cameras and seismic stations in remote locations use solar power and line-of-site microwave radio communication. For #FieldWorkFriday we have a picture from the team's upgrade of the solar panel frame at Sage Hen. See the camera feed at alertwildfire.org/?currentFireca…

NV Energy’s Power Safe NV team partnered up with @unevadareno / @UNRScience's Seismology Lab to install a new wildfire camera on top our South Reno building - one of many installed through our ongoing collaboration.
