The GEYER seismic network

A network of 400 continuously running, digital, short-period seismic stations was deployed for a time period of approximately 2 weeks in an area of ~1 x 1.7 km in the Geyer region (Saxony, Germany). The network is part of a feasibility study to check whether and to which extent passive seismic methods, i.e. ambient noise techniques with a large number of stations (LARGE-N) can be used in a mineral exploration context. The project is attached to the INFACT project ("Innovative, Non-invasive and Fully Acceptable Exploration Technologies") funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme. At the same time it serves as a first field test for newly acquired LARGE-N instrumentation of the GIPP instrument pool. Waveform data are available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code XF.
