Surrounded by kettle ponds and meandering rivers, P16K sits on relatively flat subarctic tundra within the Bristol Bay lowlands. This site is about 18 miles from Dillingham. P16K was acquired in 2019 under dedicated support from our partners at the U.S. Geological Survey to strengthen earthquake monitoring across southern Alaska. The site was originally installed as part of the USArray project. P16K is generously hosted by our partners at the Alaska Department of Natural Resources.
