On the Cover…
Cologne Cathedral, one of the world’s largest Gothic cathedrals, dates to 1248 and was named a World Heritage Site in 1996. Located in the Lower Rhine embayment, it is exposed to the moderate seismicity of this active intraplate region, where paleo- earthquakes with magnitudes > 6.5 have been detected. So acceleration sensors with permanent recording were installed at five locations in the cathedral. The front cover image shows Cologne Cathedral’s west façade, with five seismograms superimposed over the two 157-m towers showing the EW component of displacement recorded during the 14 February 2011 ML 4.4 Valentine’s Day earthquake, 91 km away. See “Seismic Surveillance of Cologne Cathedral,” which begins on page 9. (Photo courtesy of Dombauarchiv Köln, Matz und Schenk.)

Seismological Research Letters

 

The bimonthly Seismological Research Letters serves as a general forum for informal communication among seismologists, as well as between seismologists and those nonspecialists interested in seismology and related disciplines. The contents of SRL include contributed articles on topics of broad seismological interest, opinion pieces on current seismological topics, News and Notes about seismology in the U.S. and internationally, Transitions notes about seismologists, special earthquake reports, and letters to the editor.

"The Electronic Seismologist" is one of SRL's most popular columns. Many readers find its information on data exchange, the World Wide Web, and bulletin boards containing seismological information necessary reading. "EduQuakes" aims to provide a forum for the ongoing educational mission of the Seismological Society.

SRL prides itself on its ability to disseminate information quickly. For example, articles with preliminary reports about recent earthquakes of major public interest have appeared in as little as two months after the occurrences of the events. In summary, SRL is an excellent tool for keeping current on developments in earthquake seismology.
