Description: The Earthquake Unit (EQU) is a Research Unit at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus. The EQU serves as Jamaica's hub for earthquake monitoring and seismic research. In addition to the Central Recording Station, the Unit operates the Jamaica Seismograph Network (JSN), the Jamaica Strong Motion Network (JSMN), the Jamaica Educational Seismic Network (JAESN), and a Global Positioning System network, which together measure a range of crustal movements - weak and strong coseismic displacements to very small aseismic strains.
