Global Seismographic Network (GSN)

The Global Seismographic Network (GSN) is an international system of highly sensitive seismometers strategically located around the world. These instruments detect and record ground movements caused by earthquakes, volcanic activity, and other geological events. By providing precise, real-time data, the GSN helps scientists monitor seismic activity globally, improve earthquake detection, and understand Earth's internal processes. Its comprehensive coverage and advanced technology allow for rapid response and better assessment of seismic hazards, contributing to public safety and scientific research.
