Center for Neotectonic Studies

An annual seminar series focused on the study active tectonics and seismic hazard established in honor of Emeritus Professor Dr. Burt Slemmons. Dr. Slemmons retired from UNR in 1989 after 38 years of teaching and conducting research in earthquake geology and engineering. During that time he established both the State Seismological Research Laboratory and the Center for Neotectonic Studies.

We thank the colleagues, associates, and past students from across the country for honoring Burt and making the seminar series possible.

If you would like to help honor Burt and make this a more frequent event, checks may be made out to the UNR Foundation (Account #1311-114-1107) and sent to Lori McClellan at the Nevada Seismological Laboratory.
