About ISLA: Located on the western tip of the Big Island and a stone's  
throw from the beach, the University of Hawaii Infrasound Laboratory  
(ISLA) specializes in the use of sensitive microphones to monitor low  
frequency sounds in the atmosphere. One of our primary missions is to  
operate listening stations in the Pacific and Indian Oceans that are  
part of the International Monitoring System of the Comprehensive  
Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. We also conduct basic and applied research in  
acoustic source processes (such as volcanoes, surf, tsunamis, meteors,  
and rockets), propagation, instrumentation, signal and array  
processing, and software development. Routine field sampling of swell  
and wind conditions is encouraged. For more information visit www.isla.hawaii.edu
