SeisComP3 for monitoring seismicity on Korean penninsula
May 2, 2017 · Projects
We are presenting the bleeding-edge developments for SeisComP3 at KIGAM.
AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, USA, 2016
Dec 15, 2016 · Event
We have experienced a successful week at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in San Francisco, USA.
In a joint booth with OSOP, Panama, we proudly presented gempa’s wide range of SeisComP3-based software solutions including new innovative products for local to teleseismic real-time earthquake analysis, structural health monitoring, volcano monitoring, efficient and secure real-time waveform data exchange, warning information and lots more.
Monitoring earthquakes at gas storages in Italy
Nov 25, 2016 · Projects
Seiscomp3 and gempa modules will be used by OGS to monitor the seismicty in north-east Italy. The monitoring targets include sites where gas is stored in depleted natural reservoirs. We have trained OGS staff members to use SeisComP3 and the gempa modules for observing and analyzing the earthquakes including their moment tensors.
PACA in Muscat, Oman uses GDS and Moment Tensor Modules
Oct 28, 2016 · Projects
PACA in Muscat, Oman has been using our GDS for dissemination of earthquake information and scautomt for automatic inversion for earthquake moment tensors. We have now trained SeisComP3 administrators and operators on their usage.
TOAST Upgrade and Moment Tensor Modules for Tsunami-Early Warning at BMKG, Indonesia
Jul 26, 2016 · Projects
At BMKG in Jakarta, Indonesia , we have upgraded SeisComP3 and TOAST to the latest release and installed the modules MTV and AUTOMT for determination of earthquake moment-tensors. gempa GmbH has been supporting BMKG to establish and to increase capacities for earthquake and tsunami early warning for Indonesia and the Indian Ocean. The new software modules will enhance the capabilities at BMKG to monitor earthquakes in Indonesia and the oceans around. Hands-on training at BMKG for new moment tensor modules will enable the operators to rapidly determine the source mechanism of earthquakes that are required input parameters for tsunami modeling and early warning.
SeisComP3 and gempa Modules at NRCan, Canada
Jun 9, 2016 · Projects
We have installed SeisComP3 and gempa modules for earthquake monitoring, research and event dissemination at NRCan offices in Ottawa, Canada.
SeisComP3 training in Potsdam for institutions in the Middle East
May 26, 2016 · Training
We have trained 9 seismologists from An-Najah National University , Geophysical Insitute of Israel (GII) and the Jordan Seismological Observatory (JSO) in using SeisComP3 and gempa’s QuakeLink module.
After return to their home institutions, the trainees will apply their new knowledge on SeisComP3 to monitor earthquakes and quarry blasts in the Middle East and QuakeLink to exchange earthquake parameters between the three institutions.
TOAST predicts local tsunami for the M7.7 Ecuador earthquake on 16/04/2016
Apr 21, 2016 · Earthquake
Local tsunami wave heigths of up to 40 cm where observed for the M7.7 Ecuador earthquake on 16/04/2016. The hypocenter, magnitude, centroid depth and moment tensor were calculated using SeisComP3 and MTV. The tsunami was modeled and observed based on TOAST.
Moment tensors provide depth control for reliable tsunami prediction
Apr 13, 2016 · Earthquake
Seaquakes have the potential to generate destructive tsunamis when the magnitude is large, the earthquake occurs at shallow depth below the ocean floor and the earthquake mechanism has a significant uplift component. Their correct determination is therefore crucial for Tsunami Early Warning conducted in many centers worldwide. False as well as missed warnings may have large societal and economic impacts.
SeisComPro Advanced Training Course at ISOR in Reykjavik, Iceland
Feb 22, 2016 · Training
ISOR in Reykjavik, Iceland, has been using SeisComP3 for a long time to monitor natural and induced earthquakes at geothermal fields and at the numerous active volcanoes on Iceland. In the future ISOR will even further enhance their monitoring using gempa’s software packages scanloc, sceval, CAPS, the moment tensor module and the mapprojection.
SeisComP3 training course at INM, Tunisia
Jan 20, 2016 · Training
We have trained 12 Tunisian specialists in seismology, IT and GPS solutions in the installation, operation and tuning of SeisComP3 in Tunis, Tunisia. Our training supports the National Institute of Meteorology and SLE-GPS solution in building up new capacities for advanced earthquake monitoring in Tunisia and northern Africa.
AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, USA, 2015
Dec 21, 2015 · Event
We have experienced a successful week at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in San Francisco, USA.
Advanced training course for gempa’s TOAST in Indonesia
Nov 20, 2015 · Training
We have trained Indonesian experts on TOAST and SeisComP3 for tsunami- and earthquake-early warning at BMKG in Jakarta, Indonesia.
In close collaboration with our Indonesian partners at BMKG we build up and maintain early-warning capacities in Indonesia supporting the Republic of Indonesia to be prepared against future natural hazards such as earthquakes and tsunamis.
SeisComP3 training course in Potsdam
Oct 21, 2015 · Training
Another SeisComP3 training is taking place in our offices. We are training 8 seismologists, data center operators, IT experts and deputies for capacity building.
After the beginners training course, the trainees will be able to install and operate the SeisComP3 software package and to build up capacities for earthquake monitoring at their home institutions. They come from Austria, Iraq, Oman, Myanmar, Turkey, Egypt, Ghana and Guatemala.
