Preface: "improving seismic networks performances: From site selection to data integration" (EGU2015 SM1.2/GI1.5 session)

Abstract

The number and quality of seismic stations and networks in Europe continually improves, nevertheless there is always scope to optimize their performance. In this EGU2015 SM1.2/GI1.5 session we welcomed contributions from all aspects of seismic network installation, operation and management. This includes site selection; equipment testing and installation; planning and implementing communication paths; policies for redundancy in data acquisition, processing and archiving; and integration of different data sets including GPS and OBS.
