RS RAS and IS NAS KR scientific collaboration

The scientific collaboration between Research Station of RAS and the Institute for Seismology of NAS KR in the seismological research scope continues.

Four sets of RT130-01 seismic station and STS-2 seismic sensors have been prepared and consigned to the Institute for Seismology by Group of New Technologies Introduction staff according to the last Agreement. It is the sixth Agreement for similar works during last three years.

RT130-01 stations and STS-2 seismic sensors purchase was funded by CRDF (U.S. Civilian Research and Development Foundation). It must be noted that the manufacturer of RT130-01 – namely REFTEK Inc., USA, supports its equipment maintenance during all time of equipment and software usage.

Field works assumes RT130-01 seismic stations completed by STS-2 sensors arrangement at studied area at Talas region and continuous recording of microseisms and vibrations from remote earthquakes and industrial explosions. The monitoring period depends on seismic activity level at observed territory. 10 seismic events at least with high-quality records are necessary for data processing. While one station is taken as a reference point, other stations are mobile.

Two months is the period of Agreement.

Group of New Technologies Introduction staff renders methodical support, operators training and consultations for Institute for Seismology staff and provides seismic data processing software.
