The Haiti Subsurface Imaging (HASI) Project

This project was aimed at helping build Haiti’s geoscience capability and searching for the 2010 earthquake fault by using Leica 60 laser theodolite and Trimble GPS system; Scintrex CG-5 Gravimeter; Geometrics 60-channel plus 24-channel, Geolde or a Propelled Energy Generator source. Global Geophysical donated GSR seismic recording nodes. EdgeTech 216 Chirp surveys were done on Lake Azuey and Mirogoane.

The project team worked with Haitian partners to undertake productive surveys in key hazardous areas of Haiti in both the epicentral area and neighboring regions.

The team comprised of 5 students, who developed a better understanding of the Haitian subsurface and assisted in advancing Haiti’s technical capabilities.
