Research
Seismology
The Seismology Division is a knowledge based research centre and observatory for earthquakes and
related events. On the basis of seismological and other geophysical observations like infrasound,
the Seismology Division is active in fundamental and applied research in the field of seismology
and furthermore hosts the European centre for exchange and coordination of seismological data
(ORFEUS). The research is focused on:
- Natural earthquakes in the south of the Netherlands, Limburg and Brabant, and their associated hazard and risk
- Induced earthquakes as a result of the exploitation of gas reservoirs in the north of the Netherlands, Groningen, Drenthe, Friesland and Noord-Holland
- Modelling the subsurface of the Netherlands with respect to attenuation, anisotropy, dipping layers and site effects
- Research in the context of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT)
- Infrasound
