Ukrainian National Seismic Network

The seismic network is currently undergoing modernization and expansion as part of the Seismic Network Expansion and Modernization in Ukraine (SNEMU) project. This initiative is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Michigan State University (MSU), and the EarthScope Consortium. The network will be enhanced with new Nanometrics equipment (Trillium Slim 120 posthole sensors, Centaur CTR4-3S or -6S digitizers, accelerometers). This data is exchanged with EarthScope.

The Carpathian region has been supported by the ORFEUS Data Integration Grant under the Geo-INQUIRE Project, with significant contributions from GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, GIPP-GEOFON, GaiaCode, Laboratoire Géoazur. We have already upgraded 5 stations (KSV, RAKU, MEZ, STNU, BRIU) in the Carpathian region by Guralp CMG-3ESP (120 s) and GaiaCode THETA-TT30-VEL (30 s) sensors, along with EarthData PR6-24 digitizers. These data are transmitted to the NEIP as a primary server.

The network also includes stations equipped with a variety of sensors, such as: SM-3KV (2 s), SM-3 (2 s), SKD (25 s), Guralp CMG-40T (30 s), GEOTECH SL-210; SL-220 (20 s), IGPH (30 s) sensors and DAS-05, IGPH dataloggers.
