Preface to the 2016 Edition
This book first came out in 2004. Since then there has been a lot of changes in the technology used for detecting and recording earthquakes. Some recording media like tape and optical disk have completely disappeared. Seismic recorders have become smaller, using less power, and the trend is for much more standardization with Linux operating system, Ethernet communication, MiniSeed recording, and SeedLink or EarthWorm real-time transmission. Real-time transmission and continuous recording are now the norm, partly due to better communication and cheap large capacity storage. The new open standards for seismic data transmissio
