Ground truth information was provided to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for experimental discrimination of mine-related explosions from earthquakes. Remotely sensed data, knowledge of regional, geology and tectonics, and other data sets were provided for two distinct projects at LLNL: (1) Detection of recent strip- mining activity using satellite remote sensing by Dr. William Pickles, and (2) Discrimination of mine- related explosions from earthquakes using regional wave form data by Dr. David Harris and Dr. William Walter. The primary contact person at Comell for this activity was Francisco Gomez, a graduate student whose studies focus on the regional geology and tectonics of Morocco. Two visits were made to LLNL by Francisco Gomez during Winter 1996 and Winter 1997, as well as one visit to Comell by Dave Harris during the Summer of 1997
