Description
Summary:MEDNET is a network of very-broadband, high resolution seismographic stations primarily installed in countries of the Mediterranean area. Support for stations in developing countries comes from World Laboratory (Lausanne), a non-governmental international organisation. The project started in 1989 and now lists 15 active stations. It kept a special emphasis on the Mediterranean area, as its main target area, but also included stations in Nepal and Antarctica by following other Italian national initiatives. Three stations are in cooperation with University of Trieste (TTE), GEOSCOPE (SSB), and IRIS/GSN (TBT). Stations in Antarctica are installed and maintained in the framework of the Italian Antarctic Program (PNRA).
