 l Survey Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory\n\nAbstract: Sei
 smic instrumentation has advanced profoundly in the past 50 
 years from when seismologists directly made measurements on 
 paper records of waveforms. Now\, a single broadband seismome
 ter the size of a bowling ball can record a larger range of 
 ground motions than the six sensors\, each the size of a Germ
 an Shepherd\, used in the World Wide Standardized Seismograph
 ic Network in the 1970s. High dynamic range digitizers combi
 ned with the timing and telemetry capabilities of satellites
  have enabled seismic data from across the Earth to arrive a
 t your desktop in almost real-time. Additionally\, several so
 ftware packages have been developed that allow seismologists
  to quickly process massive seismological data sets that wou
 ld not have been feasible in the days of paper records. Ulti
 mately\, these technologies have enabled rapid characterizati
 on of earthquakes and improved our knowledge of earth struct
 ure and surface processes.  However\, when using these techn
 ologies\, we can begin to lose touch with how our data is pro
 duced and how subtle nuances in data collection and processi
 ng algorithms may be impacting our results.  In this webina
 r I will discuss how modern seismic data gets recorded\, some
  of the current limitations in broadband seismology\, as well
  as a few “gotchas” that can arise.\n\nAfter registering\, 
 you will receive a confirmation email containing information
  about joining the webinar. PLEASE NOTE: Registration does
  not confirm or guarantee you will have a spot during the w
 ebinar\, as we are limited to 500 participants. Please hop on
