Laboratory for Active Geophysical Research

The Laboratory for Active Geophysical Research is a specialized facility where scientists study the Earth's interior and surface processes. Using advanced tools like seismometers and controlled sources of energy (such as vibrations), they investigate phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic activity, and Earth's structural composition. The laboratory conducts experiments and analyzes data to better understand how our planet behaves, which can improve earthquake prediction and natural hazard assessment. It combines field measurements with laboratory testing to explore geophysical phenomena in a controlled environment, advancing knowledge of Earth's dynamic systems.
