RAG is across the Copper River Valley from Cordova, on a peak north of Ragged Mountain. It was installed in 1984 and upgraded in 2006 as part of the SainT Elias Erosion/tectonics Project (STEEP). Funded by the National Science Foundation, the project ended in 2012. RAG was updated with a borehole seismometer in 2022. RAG also relays data to Cordova from four other remote stations. Located in the Chugach National Forest, RAG is generously hosted by our partners at the USDA Forest Service.
