Weston Observatory (Boston College)
Weston Observatory is a geophysical research laboratory of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Boston College. The Observatory is located in the town of Weston, Massachusetts, about west of downtown Boston.〔(Weston Observatory )〕
The Observatory, which has been recording earthquakes since the 1930s, conducts research on earthquakes and related processes, delivers public information after significant earthquakes occur, contributes to earthquake awareness to help reduce the tragic effects of earthquakes, and educates future generations of geoscientists and scientifically literate citizens.
Weston Observatory houses seismic instruments for the New England Seismic Network (NESN)〔(New England Seismic Network )〕 and for the World-Wide Standardized Seismic Network (WWSSN), as well as office and lab space and a geophysics library. The Observatory monitors earthquakes around the world, with emphasis on the Northeast United States (and particularly New England), disseminates information pertinent to any seismic events that are recorded, and is also a center for education and public outreach about earthquakes and related phenomena.〔( Weston Observatory Staff )〕〔(Earthquake Maps )〕
== History ==

The first Weston Observatory seismographs were installed at the Campion Center, next to the current Observatory, and began recording earthquakes in January 1931. The instruments were maintained by the Jesuits for many decades and were relocated to the newly built Weston College (now the Weston Observatory) in 1949. The Observatory became affiliated with Boston College in 1947 and the buildings and grounds were bought by BC in the late 1970s.〔( History of Weston Observatory )〕 The WWSSN instruments were installed late in 1961.〔( Summary of the World-wide Standardized Seismograph Network )〕
