The earthquake activity in western Nevada is well monitored, but at present the northern and eastern part of the state have very few seismic stations.The NSL is pushing for resources to improve monitoring in more areas of Nevada, where rural communities, mining and geothermal operations could benefit.For information, go to unr.edu/science.</div></body>
