Professor
Mark Noel has forwarded the results of the seismic array experiment he has recently concluded. Various locations were utilised
across the Island including one at St Maughold's Church Room in the village.
Professor Noel told the Commissioners that as far as he was aware the ManSeis project represents the first
deployment of a privately owned seismic array, since all others are operated
either by nat ional government, defence or university departments.

Professor
Mark Noel has forwarded the results of the seismic array experiment he has recently concluded. Various locations were utilised
across the Island including one at St Maughold's Church Room in the village.
Professor Noel told the Commissioners that as far as he was aware the ManSeis project represents the first
deployment of a privately owned seismic array, since all others are operated
either by nat ional government, defence or university departments.
He also advises
that the Isle of Man is the ideal size for a small seismic array, having
sufficient aperture to resolve the azimuth of arriving wavefronts. Although the
experiment ran for only a short time, he has demonstrated the effectiveness of
the technology and thanks all those who kindly allowed use of their premises to
enable the experiment.
The array
data has been used in the dissertation of a Student at Durham who has worked
with Professor Noel.
A fuller explanation of the Array Experiment has been provided by Professor Noel and is available here.
