Broadband - Ocean Bottom Seismograph Net (NA6)

Foster the establishment of the first backbone of European long-term seismic observation system at sea and its integration into Euro-Med seismological infrastructure by poling resources of key marine operators in Europe. The NERIES BBOBS activities are closely coordinated with the initiatives within ESONET. Coordinator: Satish Singh, Institute Physique du Globe Paris (IPGP), France.
