During the Fall and Spring of 1975/76, nine telemetered seismographic stations were emplaced in the Brooks Range in northeast Alaska. This is an area not previously instrumented, and the historic record indicates a very low incidence of earthquakes in this part of Alaska. During a one year recording period, data from the new network permitted the location of 69 earthquakes in the magnitude 1-4 range. This was accomplished in spite of a high incidence of station outages which considerably reduced the usable data collected during the study period. Results of this study suggest that the usual concept of low seismicity levels in northeastern Alaska should be reevaluated.
