Earthquake station in Davos

The SED has been operating the DAVOX station near Davos since 2002 as Switzerland's contribution to the International Monitoring System (IMS). On 22 August 2003, the DAVOX station was certified as the ninth of 120 IMS auxiliary seismic stations. DAVOX was integrated into the IDC's operational network on 23 September 2003 and officially inaugurated on 2 October 2003.

Among other things, this station recorded ground shaking 12 minutes after nuclear tests conducted in North Korea, most recently in September 2017 (see SED news article of 3 September 2017).
