These Proceedings contain papers presented at the Nineteenth Annual Seismic Research Symposium on Monitoring a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), held 23-25 September 1997, in Orlando, Florida. This Symposium represents the combined annual review for the research programs funded by DSWA, HQ AF Technical Applications Center (AFTAC), Department of Energy (DOE), the Nuclear Treaty Programs Agency, the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). In addition, representatives from five of the DOE National Laboratories participate in the Symposium to provide insight on the internal DOE CTBT R&D program. The scientific objectives of the research programs are to improve the United States' capability to detect, locate, identify, and characterize nuclear explosions under the CTBT. The purpose of the Symposia is to provide the sponsoring agencies an opportunity to review research, particularly contractor research, accomplished during the preceding year and to outline areas of investigation for the coming year. For the researchers, it provides a forum for the exchange of scientific information to help achieve program goals and an opportunity to meet DSWA, HQ AFTAC, DOE, NTPO, ACDA and NSF staff to discuss results and future plans. In addition, the Symposium and the technical presentations serve as an important avenue for technology transition to the Air Force and OSD user. The paper topics include subjects discussed by the Symposium panels; seismic regionalization and calibration; detection and location of sources; identification of sources and discrimination between different types of sources; wave propagation from source to receiver; the nature of seismic sources, including mining practices; hydroacoustic, infrasound and radionuclide methods and on-site inspection; and data processing and other topics. Sponsored in part by Air Force Technical Applications Center, Office of the Secretary of Defense Nuclear Treaty Programs Office, Department of Energy, United States Geological Survey, Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, and the National Science Foundation.
