Led by Philipp Kästli and Dr. Carlo Cauzzi, this group manages the core operations of Switzerland’s seismic network. It focuses on earthquake identification, quantification, and related scientific infrastructure and products. The group provides main outputs, Einladung earthquake locations, magnitudes, focal mechanisms, moment tensors, ShakeMaps, and waveform archives. It monitors and documents waveform availability and quality and maintains instrumentation metadata. In collaboration with the hazard and risk section, the data processing, products and alerting group supports the production of Rapid Impact Assessments (RIA). These outputs follow international community standards from FDSN. The group designs and manages the hardware and software systems and databases that support these functions, ensuring redundancy and reliability in data processing and alerting. It is also responsible for collecting and analysing felt reports following significant earthquakes.
