Global Seismological Network

The Global Seismological Network (GSN) is an international system of seismic monitoring stations that detects and records earthquakes and other seismic activities around the world. Established to enhance our understanding of the Earth's structure and behavior, the GSN provides critical data for earthquake research and hazard assessment. It consists of dozens of advanced sensors and equipment located across various countries, allowing scientists to analyze earthquake patterns, improve prediction models, and enhance public safety in earthquake-prone regions. The information collected helps in disaster preparedness and contributes to studies on tectonic processes.
