Olive Sierra Boyd
The UC Berkeley Seismological Laboratory operates a network of geophysical
stations in northern California to collect data in real time, to support
the delivery of earthquake information to state and federal stakeholders
and the public, including earthquake early warning, and to provide data for
research. In collaboration with the USGS Earthquake Management Project, the
BSL jointly operates the northern California component of the USGS Advanced
National Seismic System to provide public earthquake information,
earthquake early warning, and long-term earthquake monitoring operations.
In addition, the BSL collaborates for telemetry and data exchange with
partner organizations ranging from federal and state agencies to public and
private organizations. Robust, rapid, secure delivery of data is vital to
these activities. This position provides end-to-end support of all data
networking at the Berkeley Seismology Lab. This role develops, plans,
