International Network of Seismology

The International Seismological Centre (ISC) is a global organization that collects, catalogs, and analyzes data from earthquakes worldwide. It operates a network of seismometers—sensitive instruments that detect ground movements—distributed across many countries. By analyzing these signals, the ISC helps determine earthquake locations, magnitudes, and depths, contributing to understanding seismic activity and improving early warning systems. Its data supports scientific research, hazard assessment, and public safety efforts, fostering international collaboration to better monitor and respond to earthquakes globally.
