Geophysical Observatory

A geophysical observatory is a research facility that monitors and studies various physical processes occurring in the Earth, such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and changes in the atmosphere and oceans. Using advanced instruments, scientists collect data on phenomena like seismic waves, magnetic fields, and gravitational variations. This information helps improve our understanding of Earth’s dynamics, predict natural disasters, and inform public safety measures. Geophysical observatories play a crucial role in advancing knowledge in Earth sciences and contributing to environmental management and climate studies.
