Realtime Monitoring

The dense Swiss seismic network provides realtime information on ground shaking across Switzerland. The realtime monitoring group operate the automatic software that finds and characterises earthquakes within 10’s of seconds after they occur, and provides alerts to relevant authorities and the public. Other seismological tools we provide include ShakeMaps that show how ground shaking was produced across the country. The group also actively researches earthquake early warning tools.
