Conducting field work for a seismic station setup involves a series of meticulous steps and considerations to ensure accurate and reliable seismic data collection. 

Long term solar powered stations

Site selection and preparation

  • Choose a location with minimal noise interference and away from urban areas, traffic, and industrial activities.
  • The site should be geologically stable and representative of the area's seismic characteristics.
  • Accessibility and security of the site are also important factors.
  • Conduct a detailed survey of the site, including topographical, geological, and geophysical assessments.
  • Prepare the site by clearing vegetation, leveling the ground
