Installation of a Broadband Seismological Station in the Faixa Paraguai

This project is a just the beginning of the study of the seismicity and tectonics at the Faixa Paraguai, located at Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul (states from the middle-west of Brazil). The region is well known for the geological faults and folds and has a peculiar structure compared to the Craton Amazonico. To better study the structure, there is the demand to install a seismological station and then to speculate on receptor function, seismic tomography and other things. The data analysis will be responsability of the Seismological Observatory of The Brasiília University (SIS/UnB) such as this whole project. The first travel will be done by the first week of June of 2011 and the installation will be concluded by 2 days. Until the date of the congress, we expect that the station works fine and show some results about the seismicity in the area.
