NERIES TA04

Access grants for array seismology

NORSAR, the premier seismological array in Europe and a world-leader in array seismology offers access to its facility within the EC-project NERIES.

The infrastructure at NORSAR consists primarily of a data center and field installations, consisting of different seismic arrays with apertures ranging from 1 to 75 km equipped with 1C or 3C short period or broadband sensors. NORSAR provides access to a unique database of seismic recordings from its arrays reaching back to April 1971. NORSAR's technical facilities are complemented with a group of scientists and engineers that capture 30 years of experience and world renowned research in array seismology and automatic analysis of seismic data.

By offering access to its infrastructure, NORSAR contributes within NERIES its knowledge on array seismology and automatic on-line data processing and support further developments and applications of these techniques in Europe. During the next years (until 2010), in all 25 visiting months are financed by NERIES, which are planned as about 3 visits per year, each with a duration of approximately two months.

How to apply for access grants

Applicants must be affiliated at an Institution within the EC Member States or one of the Associated States, but outside of Norway.

Proposals for visits of up to 2 months, including a description of the proposed research and a short CV, can be submitted at any time to NORSAR or the NERIES management and will be considered every three months by the user selection panel. The first panel decisions was in September 2006 and the next dead lines for panel decisions are scheduled for

15 September and 15 December 2009 and finally the last one for 15 March 2010.

Until August 2009 the following 14 research visits had been finalized:
